Summary

  • Hudson City Hall closed Wednesday after an overnight storm cut internet service to the building and left phone lines down.
  • City employees cannot access any systems, according to the mayor’s office, halting normal operations at the building for the day.
  • The closure stems from storm-related service outages rather than a broader staffing or policy issue, with city officials framing it as a temporary disruption.
