Michael O'Hara on Hudson's Economic Development

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
What will it take to attract new jobs to Hudson? An educated workforce, an excellent school system, affordable housing, a well-run city, and a city government committed to making Hudson a great place to live, work and visit.

THE O’HARA SOLUTION
• Establish an adult learning center in Hudson, with childcare, to help Hudson parents continue their educations and learn marketable skills.
• Actively promote Hudson outside the region as a great place to do business.
• Create a business incubator program for new business development.
• Work with the county government to create a comprehensive economic development plan for Columbia County.
