During the campaign, Mayor Joe Ferris said he intended as mayor to hold regular town hall meetings in each ward. The Register-Star reports today that Ferris has announced the first round of these meetings: "Hudson Mayor Ferris set to start holding town halls."
The following in quoted from the Register-Star article. For some reason, it appears Ferris plans to hold two meetings in the Fifth Ward.
The first town hall will be held in Ward 2 in the Bliss Towers community room at 41 N. 2nd St. on Feb. 9; the second in Ward 5 at the FASNY Firefighters Home at 125 Harry Howard Ave. on Feb. 17; the third in Ward 3 at the Creative Legion, 7 Fairview Ave., on Feb. 18; the fourth will be also at the Firefighters Home on Feb. 19; the fifth in Ward 4 in the Hudson Area Library community room Feb. 26; and the sixth in Ward 1 at The Spark of Hudson, 502 Union St., on March 2.
All of the meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m. and are expected to last for ninety minutes.
The second meeting for the 5th Ward is to accommodate all the Greenport people who think they live in Hudson. I applaud Mayor Ferris for reaching across the border to make inroads with former mayor Johnson’s base of support.
ReplyDeleteIs Greenport to Hudson what Greenland is to America? ;-)

Meetings not from the roof of City Hall and not only on Facebook dot com.... what is this?

Also now that 3rd Ward meetings are in Creative Legion... maybe the 1st Ward is not the bougiest of them all anymore and we can retire the North vs. South side divide...
When I inquired at City Hall Mayors office, I was told the meeting for fifth ward will be on February 19 so where did the above info come from? Can we please somehow get accurate info?
ReplyDeleteThe mayor's office is doing a press release, which will be published here as soon as it is received. Take heart. The meetings in question are still few weeks off.
