THE ENVIRONMENT

These solutions should not compromise the ability of future generations to live and thrive in our community. To live within our environmental and financial means is not only possible but also absolutely necessary.O’Hara’s training in environmental systems design and experience as Hudson’s Commissioner of Public Works inform his vision of Hudson as a sustainable community, able to deal with the challenges of climate change and higher energy prices.
