MUNICIPAL NEWS A WORD FROM THE MAYOR Fellow citizens, Construction is finally under way for Main Road in the village! Prior to the elections of 2017, I heard from many of you that the conditions of the villages sidewalks and roads simply weren’t acceptable. I promised to you that, as your mayor, I would fix this longstanding problem. From the planning stages to execution, we listened and worked with citizens to make this a reality! The vision of making a more pedestrian friendly one is now being built. Council planned during the winter and spring months to provide citizens the summer services they want and deserve. The pool is open and the day camp has returned to Hudson. COVID is still with us but we’ve adapted to the challenges presented by the pandemic. Hudsonites got priority parking passes in the mail and will have priority access to our waterfront spots for beautiful summer days in Hudson. Have a great summer!

The town of Hudson therefore wishes to document the information on septic systems and have them upgraded if required. The town also plans, through its management plan, to setup a municipal tank emptying program. The main objective of the town is to inform the citizens concerned and, as such, a letter will be sent to them by summer 2021 giving more details on this program. Also, a public meeting will be organized to present this management plan.
