Meetings of Interest in the Week Ahead

The election is what's on everyone's mind this week, but there are a few other things happening. 

• On Monday, November 2, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment (BEA) meets at 1:00 p.m. The BEA has begun its second review of the proposed budgets for 2021, the one where, without the department heads present, they go through the budgets with a fine-tooth comb looking for things that can be cut. The budget scheduled to receive such scrutiny today is that of the Department of Public Works. To join the meeting, click here.
• At 2:30 p.m. on Monday, November 2, Hudson Community Development and Planning Agency (HCDPA) holds a special meeting to discuss the anti-displacement grant. Phase 2 of the grant process has been reached, and it is now time to seek funding to implement the chosen anti-displacement strategy, so the meeting may be useful in learning what that chosen strategy is. The link to the Zoom meeting should be posted on the City of Hudson website before the meeting begins. Scroll down to the calendar.
