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.

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

    Plenty of space here at bargain prices, the word just has to get out.

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

    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.
