75 Reed Road Press Release (PDF)

The Town of Hudson announces that National Development, the current owner of record of the former Intel campus located at 75 Reed Road, has filed an application for Site Plan Review  with the Hudson Planning Board. The filing will initiate the formal permitting process for a proposed redevelopment of the  +/- 148-acre parcel to allow for the development of an industrial campus totaling approximately +/-950,000 square feet.  The predicted assessed future tax revenue of this redevelopment project for the Town  is valued at $3 million annually. 

Additional information, including application materials and presentation documents, will be posted on the online Planning Board page of the website at: https://www.townofhudson.org/674/Planning-Board

While no tenant has yet been identified, National Development is seeking approval to establish the development envelope and associated mitigation necessary to support future industrial users permitted under Hudson’s zoning framework. The forthcoming Site Plan Review will include a comprehensive evaluation of several key technical and operational components, including: transportation and traffic impacts; noise attenuation strategies; and stormwater management.

The Town of Hudson is a party to multi-district litigation that has been brought against the manufacturers of PFAS, namely, 3M, DuPont, and Tyco/BASF.  PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluroalkyl substances are a group of manufactured chemicals used in products because of their ability to resist heat, oil, grease, water, and stains.  These chemicals, known as “forever chemicals”, are found in everyday items, including food packaging, non-stick cookware, and firefighter foam.  Because these chemicals persist in the environment, PFAS can contaminate soil and water.

Earlier in the year, the Town was advised that it would be receiving a total gross settlement award of $2,895,531, before a reduction for costs and/or fees.  In June and October, the Town received the first two disbursements in this settlement, totaling $1,400,904.10.  Additional disbursements will be received at later dates.

In May, the Division of Local Services (DLS) issued a bulletin providing guidance to cities and towns on how to account for the proceeds received in PFAS settlement awards.  The guidance states, in part, that the proceeds may be placed in a special revenue fund and used, with appropriation [i.e., by Town Meeting] for any purpose required pursuant to the settlement agreement or, if no restriction exists, any legal purpose allowed under Massachusetts General Laws.

In conformance with the DLS bulletin, Hudson has placed the proceeds received to date from the 3M PWS settlement into a special revenue fund.  A recommendation on a strategy to deploy these funds is being developed by the Town Manager and Director of Public Works which will be presented to the Select Board and, ultimately, to Town Meeting next May.

At its meeting on August 25, 2025, the Hudson Select Board publicly addressed recent social media posts and email communication which targeted employees of the Town.

While we certainly understand the public’s right to freedom of expression and recognize the prevalence of social media in everyone’s lives today, it is discouraging when false and disparaging information is disseminated which is harmful to the reputation of public employees. We are fortunate to have a dedicated group of department heads and front-line employees who are invested in making Hudson the safe, vibrant, and welcoming community that we all greatly value.

We encourage residents to stay engaged in the public discussions about our Town and to seek information that is accurate. The Town Manager and the department heads are always available to respond to inquiries from residents. A new platform for Select Board and other meeting agendas, Community Online Agenda, has been created and the link to this platform is on the Town’s homepage. Additionally, the Town Manager’s webpage features Town Meeting Central which contains all pertinent information relative to upcoming town meetings. Our next town meeting is scheduled for September 15, 2025 at 7:30PM in the Hudson High School Auditorium.

We all want the best for our Town and its residents, and we hope that we can work together moving forward.

On behalf of the Hudson Select Board:

The Hudson Board of Health deeply regrets to inform the public that our scheduled meeting on Thursday, July 24, 2025 was abruptly canceled due to a disruptive and unacceptable intrusion by unauthorized individuals. These individuals gained access to the virtual meeting platform (Zoom) and shared highly inappropriate and offensive images and chats, which were visible to all attendees.

The messages and images shared do not at all align with the values of the Hudson Board of Health, and we sincerely apologize for any harm that may have come to those in attendance who were subjected to this disturbing incident.

This behavior is not condoned, and while this was out of our control, we took swift action to remove the intruders from the meeting, but ultimately had to end the meeting early. The Town of Hudson is taking this matter very seriously, and our Information Technology Department was immediately notified in order to investigate and work to strengthen security measures to prevent future breaches. We appreciate the public's understanding and patience as we address this issue.

The Hudson Board of Health is committed to maintaining a professional and respectful environment for public discourse, and we will take all necessary steps to ensure the security of future meetings. Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 at 5:30pm at Hudson Town Hall. In our continued quest to increase accessibility to our meetings, despite the recent incident, there will be a Zoom option with increased security measures.

On behalf of the Hudson Board of Health, the Hudson Health Department, and the Town of Hudson, we sincerely apologize for this disgraceful incident and will do everything in our power to ensure this does not happen again.

Sincerely,Matt GallenChair, Hudson Board of Health
