There
are several types of protected open space in Hopkinton,
including, town-owned open space, Audubon-owned land,
and Nature Conservancy land. In general, open space
can be thought of as unbuildable land-- protected areas
as well as lands unsuitable for development such as
wetlands and sloped property. Under current zoning,
if every piece of developable land were developed, 3,085
additional homes would dot Hopkinton's landscape, which
would in effect double the town's current population
to 17,000.
