Hello, thank you for your question. Although the terms of a future development agreement are not yet known, it is anticipated that the Clinton Crossing development terms would include provisions similar to the ones you noted from the First and Main development in order to prioritize small businesses. Additionally, the hotel feasibility study recommended seeking a flag hotel for name recognition that can help support occupancy rates, but also noted that this would still allow the City to seek a boutique or specialty version of a flag hotel. Hotels of this nature can offer individualized style that may be more reflective of Hudson, while still being supported by the loyalty programs and marketing efforts of the broader hotel network to which they belong. Thank you again.

Hello, thank you for your question. A ballot issue is not expected at this time. The upcoming site plan review/approval process is expected to be discussed at the Council workshop on September 8, 2026, and more information may be available after that discussion. Thank you.

Hello! We apologize for the delay in responding to this question. A preliminary trip generation study was completed earlier this summer, and summary data from that effort was presented at the July 22 public engagement event. The trip generation report is currently available under the Resources tab on the project website. A full traffic study is expected to commence in September now that the community has identified a framework for a single plan to be studied. The traffic study would be presented to Planning Commission as part of the concept plan review process. The traffic study will also be posted on this page when available, likely in November. The study will be comprehensive and will review potential impacts to 30+ intersections around the project site and the broader downtown area. Thank you.

Thank you for your questions about how community input has been used to inform the plan updates. The updated plans were developed by considering all resident-created concepts and ongoing resident input collectively, including the 17 original community charrette designs and the 3 top‑ranked plans selected through the July 1 event and related survey. The average number of housing units included in the 17 resident-created plans during the charrettes was 77 units. After the subsequent round of resident input, the 3 top-ranked plans of the 17 included 44, 50, and 123 housing units; the average of these is 72 units. The design team aimed to create updated concepts that were rooted in those resident-generated numbers, leaning toward a lesser unit count since two of the three preferred plans had notably lower units than the third preferred plan. 

As you noted, the three plans presented on July 22 included 65, 68, and 73 homes. The one with 73 homes was a difference of 1 unit above the average from the previous round of input, and several units below the average of 77 units from the original resident-created plans. The other two of the three most recent plans were below both the 72-unit average from the latest survey preferences and below the original 77-unit average from the charrettes. The plan updates are based on quantifiable community input. Thank you again.

Please see the engagement schedule on this site for details about the upcoming process that is intended to result in a community-led site plan developed by Hudson residents. A series of engagement events will help generate initial ideas, create several potential concepts from the initial ideas, and create a single refined concept from ongoing input and feedback.

Thank you for your comment. Parking and traffic studies will be completed this summer to evaluate existing conditions, determine new parking and traffic management needs based on the community’s proposed site plan, and determine potential efficiencies between the existing downtown area and the Clinton Crossing site.

Thank you for the question. The Comprehensive Plan identified Residential and Public/Semi-Public space as the general desired land use types, but did not indicate specific uses for the site. A proposed site plan, including specific uses and related parking, is intended to be created over the next several months through the current public engagement process. The parking needs will depend on the uses the community prefers to see.

Thank you for proposing this idea. As you noted, past proposals have indicated that Heinen’s grocery store could be located at the south side of the Clinton Crossing site. The community’s Comprehensive Plan, adopted in October 2024, called for two types of land use at Clinton Crossing: Medium-Density Residential and Public/Semi-Public. A grocery store would typically be considered a commercial use and not explicitly compatible with the desired land use types identified in the community’s plan. However, if the community determines that this would be an acceptable use within the 'semi-public space' definition, the plan that you described could be a possibility. The City will seek additional input in coming months to identify uses that residents deem acceptable within the framework identified in the Comprehensive Plan.

Hello, the community’s Comprehensive Plan called for two types of use at this site: Medium-Density Residential and Public/Semi-Public. The initial survey asked about preferences for public/semi-public space because that term has a broader scope of potential uses than the residential component, and the City needs more direction from residents about what types of public/semi-public spaces would be appropriate and desirable. There will be more engagement opportunities to review site concepts in the coming months, including discussion of housing and other potential uses that residents may propose. The features noted in the survey are not the only possibilities; residents will be encouraged to propose additional ideas for public/semi-public features through upcoming public engagement that will be scheduled soon. We anticipate holding in-person public engagement events beginning in May. Events will be posted on the project website as they are scheduled. 

The 18-unit site plan that you referred to is not within the City-owned Clinton Crossing site and is not part of this project. That project is on private property, and the design was reviewed through the required Planning Commission public hearing process with discussion at multiple public meetings. Please refer to the September 8, 2025 Planning Commission meeting minutes or video record if you are interested in more details about the townhome project.

At the City-owned Clinton Crossing site, the current concept for the residential area only includes single-family detached homes of 1.5-2 stories, intended to be compatible with the character of Owen Brown Street or Division Street. Please view the Concept Imagery Packet on the project website for more information about the housing concept. As noted above, more resident input will be sought soon regarding the desired character of homes at this site. Thank you for your questions.

Thank you for raising this point. A full traffic study will be completed as part of this project to evaluate existing roadway connections near the site and identify potential improvements that may be required. Additionally, it is expected that various configurations of new, internal roadway connections within the Clinton Crossing site will be evaluated through community engagement to determine how the site should be accessed from existing roads.
