<< BackHudson Elementary becomes History
Many Hudson
alumni attended school in the Hudson Elementary building originally
built in
1915. After 95 years of serving children, a decision was made to
demolish the
building. A year -long study was completed by a community task force,
who determined
that the cost to repair the building’s infrastructure, a minimum of
$2,000,000, was not a good use of taxpayer dollars. However, the task
force
also recommended that the district try to sell the building. Only three
offers
were received and none were significant enough for the district to
surrender
the property located within the historic district of Hudson. The
building was
retired as a classroom building in 2007 and remained empty until the
demolition
this spring. The grounds will be maintained as a park area with
playground
equipment for all Hudson
citizens to use.
