Hudson City Council Plans to Buy Building for Possible Police/Library Facility

Link to October 22 Hudson Star-Observer article, "City plans to buy NMC building".

Excerpt: In 2008, the Hudson Area Library Foundation proposed moving the Hudson library to the former corporate headquarters building. That proposal, however, failed to receive the needed support from all four municipal partners of the library in a November 2008 referendum.

Knudson resurrected the idea of the building being used for public purposes after a study by Frisbie Architects found the city’s public safety departments – and the police department in particular – to be in need of additional space.

The mayor proposed moving the police department and the library into the building.

In Tuesday’s phone call, he said he envisions a two-stage plan for the building. During the initial five-year period, the police and library would share the building. Then the library would buy the NMC building and the police would move into a new public safety building built by the city.
