The talk of the town in Hingham, MA this morning is yesterday's vote that approved money to fund a study that will lay the groundwork for a new middle school. The study was overwhelmingly approved last night by 2/3 of voters.

As stated at town meeting, the money will allow the town to begin engineering and design work on the new middle school building and could qualify the project for reimbursements by the Massachusetts School Building Authority. Hingham officials are hoping the state will reimburse the town for 35 to 40 percent of the construction costs.

Officials said last night they hope to break ground on the school by 2012.
