Organizers will bring native freshwater mussels to Hudson’s Lakefront Park on July 22 for volunteers to help remove invasive zebra mussels; presenters described recent conservation successes, a 2025 tributary survey and demonstrations at the festival.

Hudson Police Chief Jeff Holmes told the Western Wisconsin Journal that license‑plate snapshot cameras from Flock Safety have increased the department's case‑solving rate, but residents and council members have raised privacy and data‑sharing concerns over the system's AI searchability and interagency access.

Resident Sarah Brook told the council that concrete slabs on the riverfront toll bridge are separating and side rails are crumbling, asked that public works pursue repairs (possibly funded by TID money), and said community members reported that federal authorities had accessed flat-camera data and that certain people were targeted by race.
