Hudson City Council is conducting in-person public workshops and meetings at the Town Hall, 27 East Main Street.  No registration is required.  Those unable to attend can view live-stream or archived videos at www.hudson.oh.us/WatchMeetings.

Hearing-Assist Program:  Attendees can request a hearing-assist device to help them hear meeting audio more clearly.  Anyone interested should arrive early and notify a City of Hudson Staff Member prior to the start of meetings.  This service is free of charge; however, each user will be asked to provide a photo ID, to be held by the City while the hearing-assist device is in use.  For sanitation purposes, the City encourages users to bring their own headsets to plug into hearing-assist devices, which are compatible with any standard headset.  If a user does not have their own headset, a single-use headset will be provided.  Neck loops are also available for T-Coil capable hearing aids.  Sanitizing wipes are available, and hearing-assist device units will be wiped down after each use.
