Downtown Hopkinton Project to bring businesses, apartments

A local developer hopes to demolish two downtown buildings and replace them with a mix-use development that would include a restaurant, shops and apartments.

One of the buildings at 76 Main St. is under a demolition delay by the Historical Commission. Once part of a large farm, the so-called Clafin home was built in the late 1700s or early 1800s, according to town records. The delay expires on July 4.
