We want to inspire a civic renewal in Hudson.

While technology and media have radically changed our lives, our institutions have not changed at all.

The spaces we use to decide the future of our town were not designed for the social media age.

We believe the anti-social nature of media demands a renewed commitment to creating new forms of pro-social experiences.

We must invest in and reimagine our shared spaces, rituals and practices - or continue to struggle to meet our needs or confront our challenges.

Our History

When I became a father, I began advocating—for safer streets, for a crosswalk the city wouldn’t paint, and for an updated Comprehensive Plan for the city.

In 2018, I brought together local planners and designers to organize FUTURE HUDSON—an event series about small cities like ours solving big problems: housing, walkability, public space, and more.
