Michael O'Hara on Hudson's Senior Citizens

SENIOR CITIZENS
Eighteen percent of Hudson’s population is 62 years old or older. Our seniors are an important part of our community and deserve our respect and support.

THE O’HARA SOLUTION
• Work with the County Office for the Aging to guarantee our seniors receive the resources and services to which they are entitled.
• Ensure that public places are physically accessible to seniors and in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
• Provide programs and critically needed information about services to support the quality of life for all seniors, such as assistance with utility bills, home maintenance and taxes.
• Assure that city codes are enforced so that ice and snow do not build up on walkways
