Ear to the Ground

Rumor has it that Etsy.com, the e-commerce website for handmade and vintage items, has rented space in the Cannonball Factory and is planning to open a customer service center here in Hudson. According to Wikipedia, Etsy, which was founded in 2005, had seven million registered users in December 2010 and $400 million in transactions for the year.

  1. Excellent. Hudson and Columbia County need more of this kind of private job creation.

  3. Sounds good, but I hope it's not like e-Hammer who rented Sedat's church in 400 block for a while.

  4. Yeah! this is so exciting! I can't wait. I live down the street from the Canon Ball factory and think that Hudson is the best place in the world. I look forward to see new creative faces! Thanks Etsy.
