Hudson is the ideal place to do business! Hudson offers metropolitan convenience and small-town flavor, combined with excellent transportation systems and a great location. The area’s abundant natural resources help to maintain a steady stream of business into the area. More than 54 percent of the nation’s business can be conducted within overnight trucking distance from the Hudson area, and three railroads provide a network of convenient, low-cost access to markets across the nation.

Hudson is famous for major industries such as Kobelco-Stewart-Bolling and Little Tikes.

JO-Ann Stores, Inc., Dairy Mart, Alltel and Allstate Insurance Company are all headquartered in Hudson as well. The broad array of industry has helped create a strong and stable local economy.

To encourage growth, Hudson provides a business plan that provides first-class office and commercial developments, low utility rates, excellent municipal services and competitive tax incentives. Exciting opportunities for development are available, from smaller properties ideal for retailing and independent offices to large sitesperfect for major corporations and potential office park developments. With an effective strategy for growth management and desirable land parcels like Hudson Industrial Park and the new MidPoint Seasons Road project, the tools are in place for new industry and expansion in Hudson.

Hudson recently announced its downtown redevelopment project, where a proposed combination of retail, mixed-use buildings, street improvements and a new library will be developed on 14 acres of land. The recently adopted Land Development Code provides the guidelines for both residential and business development within the city, while the Comprehensive Plan provides goals and objectives for growth and change. A growth management program, which limits the number of building permits, ensures the residential development does not outpace the community’s capacity for growth.

As industry and commerce continue to grow, Hudson concentrates on maintaining a high-quality business environment. Prudent infrastructure planning and development ensures that Hudson remains on a successful path of growth while maintaining the quality of life and small-town ambiance that makes it so attractive to residents and businesses alike.
