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.
Project Spotlight: 2023 Comprehensive Plan

The Plan details a long-term vision and policy agenda for important issues in land use, housing, parks, infrastructure, transportation, and more. The 2023 Comprehensive Plan process is currently underway! Find out more here...
