By Theresa Knapp 

There is currently an application before the Hopedale Planning Board for two 6,600 square foot prefabricated metal warehouses at 370 S. Main Street, across from Hopedale Business Park and among several single-family homes. 

The first hearing was held on March 18; the meeting recording was not available at press time. The hearing was continued to April 17 at 7 p.m. for additional discussion.  

The Hopedale Application for Site Plan Approval lists the applicant as Pro-Painting Inc. at 366 Berlin St., Clinton, and the email address of the owner belongs to Gabriel Praxedes. 

According to bit.ly/countyoffice370SouthMainHopedale, the buyer bought the multi-family residential building in 2021 as a foreclosure for $191,000. Praxedes has several other businesses listed at his Clinton address, according to the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Corporations Division (bit.ly/MassCorporationsDivision).
