Community Development

The purpose of the Department of Community Development is to preserve and enhance Hudson's character and quality of life by administering the city's adopted development codes and regulations. Our department can assist citizens of Hudson in developing property, altering the exterior appearance of a house or building, erecting a sign, or constructing an accessory structure in a yard.

The Plan details a long-term vision and policy agenda for important issues in land use, housing, parks, infrastructure, transportation, and more.
