Alexandria Madero, who now represents the First Ward on the Columbia County Board of Supervisors, shared the following information about the County's plans for 11 Warren Street. Readers will recall that Madero was a charter member of the 11 Warren Street Action Group.
I recently met with Ray Jurkowski, County Commissioner of Public Works, who welcomes initial design suggestions from City of Hudson residents. Ideas can be sent to me at alexandria.madero@columbiacountyny.gov and I will forward them to him.
There will be a County Public Works Committee meeting on January 21 to propose a resolution to hire an exterior design consultant. While the public is welcome to attend, please note that there will be no discussion regarding design or scheduling at this time; the focus is solely on the resolution to hire the consultant.
Meeting Details:
January 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
County Public Works Committee Meeting
401 State Street--Committee Room
Once the committee approves the resolution, it will go to the full Board of Supervisors for a vote in February. After a consultant is hired, they will provide three schematic concept drawings for review and input at two public input sessions. The dates for completion of schematics and public input sessions are still to be determined, and I will share that information as soon as it becomes available.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

An RFP (request for proposal) for a design consultant for 11 Warren Street was issued in September. Nothing is known about who responded to the RFP, how and by whom the responses were evaluated, or even if a decision has been made about who the design consultant will be. There may be some discussion of the proposals submitted in response to the RFP at the January 21 meeting, or it may be the case that the decision has already been made, and the committee will just be agreeing to something that is already a fait accompli. Time will tell.
