This is a weekly meeting, but for the past couple of weeks, it has been canceled. So far, it hasn't been canceled for this week.

Update: It's been confirmed that the HDC Emergency Business Task Force meeting is happening.

• Also on Monday, June 22, the Common Council Fire Committee meets at 5:30 p.m. and the Police Committee meets at 6:00 p.m. Information needed to access the meetings will be made available on the City of Hudson website.
