$3.3 milliongap over ten years between what the plan says is needed and the funding counted on
An asset management plan lists what a township owns, what it will cost to keep it working and how it will pay. Hudson's plan, dated September 5, 2025, puts the replacement value of the Township's infrastructure at $73.8 million, with roads about $64.0 million of it. It says the roads, buildings and vehicles need $9.0 million over ten years to keep today's level of service. Funding the Township already counts on is $5.7 million, which leaves a gap of $3.3 million. Closing it would take about $73,300 more a year in contributions, which the plan says is 9.0% of the 2024 tax levy. The tax-funded money the Township already puts toward savings for capital is about $13,800 a year, and its savings for this purpose are about $629,800. Council adopted the plan on August 6, 2025 and directed staff to put the funding strategy into the 2026 capital budget process.

2.51%municipal levy increase in the 2025 option Council chose on May 7, 2025
The levy is the part of the budget paid by property taxes. On April 2, 2025 Council received three levy options for 2025 and asked staff to adjust the municipal tax rate by 2.5%. On May 7, 2025 it received a fourth option showing a municipal levy increase of 2.51%, and asked for a by-law on it. The vote was recorded at a member's request: four for, one against. The 2025 tax rates by-law passed the same night. On April 1, 2026 Council again received three levy options and directed a by-law on Option 2, again on a recorded vote of four for and one against. The 2026 tax rates by-law, 2026-15, passed on May 6, 2026. The minutes do not say what the 2026 rise was, and we did not find the options or the budgets posted. The January 7, 2026 minutes say council packages are available by emailing the administrative office.

In 2019, Hudson had $675K more in cash and money owed to it than it owed to others. By 2024 it was −$722K. About 82% of that change ($1.1M) is a new accounting rule from 2023: towns must now record the future cost of closing things like a landfill. That is not new spending or borrowing. Even leaving that out, only 8 of 42 similar towns are in a weaker position.

An estimate. It uses the residential tax rate, and splits Hudson's share by what each service cost in 2024 after its own fees and grants (for example, water bills pay for much of a water system). Real bills also depend on your property class, local charges and any rebates.
