Due to the recent federal and state government announcements, the Hudson Garage sale weekend will be postponed or delayed. A decision will be made at a later time whether to set another date later this year, or cancel this year altogether. Thanks for your understanding.

As mandated by the IEPA, the Village of Hudson must test for lead and copper every 3 years.  The link below includes the results for the additional testing from early November.  These results include the water parameter test and the voluntary test of the 10 lead/copper sites in the village.  All of these tests came back non-detected and the water quality test came back in parameters.  This is good news for the village.  The mandate from the IEPA still calls for an additional test for lead/copper in January 2020.  This test is an additional 20 home sites. I anticipate results in late January.  This is the updated results that the Hudson Water Department has promised to our customers.  If you have any questions about the results or additional tests, please call Jeff Waller at 726-1471.  We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Village of Hudson has issued a parking ban for all Village streets beginning at 6:00 p.m. Friday, January 11, 2019, and ending at 9:00 a.m. Sunday January 13, 2019. Please be sure to have your vehicles removed from the street prior to 6:00 p.m. tonight. Keeping the streets free from parked cars allows for more efficient snow removal and safer operations for plow drivers. Thank you for your cooperation!

Also please note Ordinance 1320, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 6 CHAPTER 2 SECTION 7 OF THE HUDSON VILLAGE CODE: PARKING AFTER SNOWSTORMS

The monthly village board meeting for January has been moved to Wednesday, January 10th, 2018 at 7:00pm. The meeting will be held in the regular location, Community Room of the Hudson Area Public Library.

The Village of Hudson is an equal opportunity employer committed to ensuring compliance with all applicable federal and state laws. While the Village is unable to comment on the employment of any specific employee due to privacy concerns for that individual, in general, the Village treats each employee request for work accommodations on an individual, case by case basis taking into account such factors as the employee’s work restrictions and length of time those restrictions will be in place, the essential and non-essential job functions of the employee’s position, and the impact of the employee’s restrictions on other employees with the same job duties.  The Village of Hudson Police Department is very small with only 1 full-time officer and 5 part-time officers. Due to the small size of the department, not having an officer available for work assignments for a prolonged period of time creates an undue burden on the operations of the department. The Village is not required to create additional employment that it would have not otherwise created in order to accommodate an employee’s work restrictions.
