HUDSON – Seasonal spirit outshone a rainy Dec. 3 at the 19th Downtown Hudson Holiday Stroll. Nearly all activities still took place except for a petting zoo that would have been stationed in the Main Street Bank parking lot. “The owners of the petting zoo felt it necessary to cancel based on their concerns for the welfare of their animals,” noted event organizers on Facebook that morning. The stroll is a collaborative effort of the Hudson Business Association and the Hudson Downtown Business Improvement District (BID).

Marijuana store no longer has to give 3% of sales to Hudson By Caroline Gordon Reporter HUDSON - Native Sun Wellness will no longer be charged a 3% flat rate of its gross annual sales to pay a “community impact fee.” All of the funds from the community impact fee were used for police and fire protection and traffic control, among
other initiatives to ensure the business’ success, according to Executive Assistant Thomas Gregory. During a Select Board meeting on Nov. 7, the board unanimously voted to authorize Chair Scott Duplisea to approve an amended community host agreement, which would remove the 3% flat rate of gross annual sales.
