HUDSON
Request tabled
HUDSON: Approval of the Collection Auto Group’s request to rezone the former Clarke Ford property has been postponed until the Nov. 19 council meeting.

The suggestion to table was made to allow time for members of City Council, the Collection Auto Group and its adjoining neighbors to review the proposed deed of conservation easement.
Five adjoining property owners spoke during the public hearing portion of Wednesday’s meeting on the issue.
