Draft LWRP & Draft GEIS Are Back for Common Council and Public Review

The latest and likely last version of the City's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (DLWRP) and the accompanying Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS) have been returned to the City by the NY Department of State. The LWRP contains a substantial number of revisions to the City Charter and the City Zoning Code and maps that the Common Council must review and consider for adoption. There will be a formal presentation on December 7 at the Common Council, then a public hearing will be scheduled, and a 60 day period for public review and comment. The documents are each lengthy. They are available on the Hudson City web site at:

Thanks for Your Support

Victory always has many mothers and fathers. Mine does. I know full well that my successful race came as the result of support from many people, those who advised, those who endorsed, especially those of you who voted for me, I carry your hope for Hudson as my own and your encouragement as my guide. To those who chose to exercise your franchise but voted for my opponent, I will do my best to deserve everyone's confidence.
