Meetings of Interest in the Week Ahead

Now that the governor's executive order regarding public meetings has expired, city meetings have become a bit uncertain. Last week, the WiFi at City Hall wasn't working, so the informal Common Council meeting was not accessible on Zoom, and the great majority of the meeting was not broadcast on WGXC. The other two City meetings scheduled for last week were canceled. So far for this week, here's what in on the calendar.

• On Monday, September 19, the Hudson Housing Authority holds its monthly meeting at 6:00 p.m. It's possible the meeting will provide an update on HHA's efforts to acquire vacant parcels owned by Hudson Community Development and Planning Agency to include in its RFP for new development. The meeting will be a hybrid, taking place in person in the Community Room at Bliss Towers, 41 North Second Street, and on Zoom. Click here to join remotely.

• On Tuesday, September 20, at noon, Hudson Development Corporation (HDC) holds its regular monthly meeting. On the agenda for the meeting is ratifying the hiring of a new executive director. The meeting takes place in person in the conference room at 1 North Front Street.
• On Tuesday, September 20, Hudson Community Development and Planning Agency (HCDPA) meets at 4:00 p.m. If the HHA meeting on Monday doesn't provide information about the fate of the four parcels that HCDPA owns and HHA wants, maybe this meeting will. The meeting will be a hybrid, taking place at City Hall and on Zoom. Click here to join remotely.  
• At 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 20, the Common Council holds its regular monthly meeting. The meeting will be a hybrid, taking place at City Hall and on Zoom. Click here to join the meeting remotely. 
• On Wednesday, September 21, the Hudson Industrial Development Agency (IDA) holds a public hearing at 9:30 a.m. on its revised guidelines for evaluating projects that apply for financial benefits. The hearing will be a hybrid, taking place at 1 City Centre, Suite 301, and on Zoom. Click here to join the meeting remotely.
• At 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 21, the Hudson Industrial Development Agency (IDA) holds a special meeting to consider adopting the new guidelines for evaluating applications. The meeting will be a hybrid, taking place at 1 City Centre, Suite 301, and on Zoom. Click here to join the meeting remotely.
• Also on Wednesday, September 21, the Zoning Board of Appeals is scheduled to meet at 6:00 p.m. ZBA meetings have been canceled for the past few months for lack of applications before them, so it is not known at this point if the meeting will actually happen or not. If it does, it will be in person only at City Hall.

Update: Lisa Kenneally, chair of the ZBA, has confirmed that an application has been received and the meeting will take place as scheduled in person at City Hall. 

• On Friday, September 23, the Historic Preservation Commission is scheduled to hold its second meeting of the month at 10:00 a.m. It is not known if the meeting will be in person only or a hybrid, or even if it will take place at all.
