Meetings and Events in the Week Ahead

After a few glorious days when it seemed spring was here, substantial snow is predicted for this week, expected to fall on Tuesday. There are lots of meetings scheduled for next week. It's not clear how they may be impacted by the snow.
  • On Monday, February 12, the Common Council holds its informal meeting at 6:00 p.m. The agenda for the meeting already includes a long list of items, among them a resolution opposing the County's proposed use of 11 Warren Street for offices and storage. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at the Central Fire Station, 77 North Seventh Street, and on Microsoft Teams. Click here to find the link to join the meeting remotely.
  • Also on Monday, February 12, at 6:00 p.m., the very same time as the Common Council informal meeting, the Hudson Housing Authority Board of Commissioners holds its monthly meeting. HHA meetings are always potentially of interest because they might yield some information about Authority's ambitious redevelopment plans. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person in the Community Room at Bliss Towers, 41 North Second Street, and on Zoom. Click here to join the meeting remotely.
  • Tuesday, February 13, is Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday, the day Christ Church Episcopal traditionally hosts its Pancake Supper. This year, however, because of the expected snow, the event has been canceled.
  • On Tuesday, February 13, the Common Council Legal Committee is scheduled to hold a meeting at 5:30 p.m. There is no agenda available for the meeting, which can't last for more than a half hour because there's another meeting scheduled for the same space at 6:00 p.m. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at the Central Fire Station, 77 North Seventh Street, and on Microsoft Teams.

  • On Tuesday, February 13, the Planning Board meets at 6:00 p.m. The agenda indicates that the Planning Board will be continuing its review of three projects that have been before them for several months already: the proposed subdivision on Hudson Avenue, the relocation of Lil' Deb's Oasis to 735 Columbia Street, and the boutique hotel proposed for 601 Union Street. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at the Central Fire Station, 77 North Seventh Street, and on Microsoft Teams. Click here to find the link to join the meeting remotely.
