Centennial Beach Summer 2021 Parking Access
On March 3, 2021 the Hudson Park Commission had a preliminary discussion on “Centennial Beach Summer 2021 Parking Access”. Additionally, leading up that meeting some Commissioners as well as the Recreation Staff received comments from residents, specific to future access to the beach facility by both residents vs nonresidents. However, the comments received prior to the last meeting were not reviewed or read into the meeting minutes on March 3rd. Instead, it was determined that the Park Commission would invite those who may have comments on “Centennial Beach Summer 2021 Parking Access” to attend the next Park Commission meeting, where public comments on this matter would be heard.
Therefore…
The Park Commission intends to hear any comments on this matter at their next regularly scheduled meeting, to be held on the evening of Wednesday, March 24, 2021 (a full meeting agenda, with exact start time and the zoom meeting link will be posted on www.townofhudson.org prior to the meeting (see Meeting Calendar). It is important to note that the Park Commission, does not plan to deliberate this topic on March 24th and will do so at a future meeting, as needed. Those who cannot attend or may not want to make public comment on this matter may email their comments directly to Steven L. Santos, Director of Recreation at ssantos@townofhudson.org. Any comments received prior to the meeting will be shared with the Hudson Park Commission.
