Hopkinton has gone Platinum!
On Tuesday morning March 19th the Hopkinton Chamber of commerce hosted a celebration to commemorate the town achieving Platinum status with MassBio and the BioReady Communities program. The event was graciously hosted at Roslin CT and attendees included local elected officials, community leaders, Chamber of commerce Board members and MA state rep James Arena- DeRosa. Perhaps most notably in attendance was Susan Nicholl, representing Senate President Karen Spilka's office as she presented a citation to the town in honor the achievement.
The Platinum rating for Hopkinton in simple terms, identifies our community to Biotech and life science firms as one of the most favorable destinations in the commonwealth.
MassBio has developed a rating system to determine a municipality’s readiness to host biotechnology facilities based on the community’s zoning practices and infrastructure capacity. Hopkinton ranks among a small number that has achieved Platinum status. The timing of this news could not come at a better time for the business community as Governor Healey recently announced her life sciences bill and a push to solidfy Massachusetts as the #1 state in the Union for Biotech and Life Science companies. South Street offers tremendous potential for growth in this area with a handful of vacant buildings ready to house world class employers. The commercial tax revenue that will be created for the town is a key focal point of the Chamber as more Life Science firms make Hopkinton their home.
