But they can’t have four and seek their fifth here. So they’re in the code as is the fancy optician coming to the 600 block of Warren.

However, I note the new Bagel Place in Greenport is naming it's Hudson Bagels - trying to cash in on Hudson's cachet, I guess and confusing people even more.

It would appear that the section of the code to which you refer, Chapter 325.43, would apply to the restaurant opening at 2nd and Warren, "Savona".<br /><br />As they offer the identical menu at all locations they seem to meet the test of a "formula" business as set forth in our code.<br /><br />This will be location number four, a number also set forth in our code.<br /><br />With these factors known, one wonders how or why were they issued a building permit.R.

While ...This reply was submitted by John Friedman:<br /><br />While the website “upgrade” is surely a triviality and little more than a shiny object offered up to us crows in an attempt to distract from the lack of any meaningful work being done at City Hall, the development you decry is all slated for Greenport, not Hudson. Hudson can’t do anything about a KFC going in on Fairview Ave by the metastasizing shopping center. That type of development can’t be done in Hudson due to the community preservation section of the City zoning code which prohibits chain retail development.Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-44264423987483825032022-04-13T09:02:55.882-04:002022-04-13T09:02:55.882-04:00The word "development" is a misnomer as ...The word "development" is a misnomer as it implies an improvement is being made. Expansion would be a more appropriate term. Economic expansion, commercial expansion, housing expansion. We now have Old Navy, KFC is coming, next you will see Popeyes, Wendy's, Chipolte, Arby's Sams Club, Targets, Home Depot etc. Fairview will become a four lane highway packed with cars. Apartment buildings and condominiums will pop up all over the place, corporations will buy up surrounding farmlands for office campuses. The expansion (development) will line the pockets of builders and suppliers as every square inch will be packed with an apartment or house. The thing that made Hudson a desirable place to live will be degraded and lost. The last thing Hudson needs is marketing, what is needed is a blockade against this expansion, a development firewall. Smaller is better, this “development” is not an improvement, it is degrading. P.

People should look to the city's official website for current information, rather than expecting city officials to comment on unofficial venues like the goofy Facebook "Community Boards."

Will be another 1970s social experiment in giveaways. <br /><br /><br /><br />What a great future. j kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669649380477390089noreply@blogger.com
