Can you believe it’s already March 2022? On that note, there is so much to say about where we stand currently, and the next steps for the Hudson Armory Project in the coming months.
Fundraising.
Over the last 2+ years, we have raised approximately $580,000.00 in grants, earmarks, and individual and corporate contributions.
If you have donated to the Armory, thank you! It really can’t be said enough how much your support is appreciated. We are incredibly thankful for your generosity.
If you’re thinking about donating to the Hudson Armory Project, this is the time. Here is one great reason why your support is needed right now:
We have raised 65% of the matching funds for the MA Cultural Council grant and have about 14 months to go to complete that process. Once we have raised the matching $200,000.00, we will have access to those additional funds.
The funds will allow the Armory to be purchased, and “buttoned up”, as we launch a major capital campaign to fund the next steps in the project. After that, the community arts and cultural center becomes a reality in brick and mortar. Therefore, any amount you contribute right now will help ensure the future success of The Armory Project. Donate now
Armory Building Vote, and how you can help:
An upcoming town meeting on Monday, May 2nd will be the next largest step in making the community center a reality.
We, the Hudson Cultural Alliance, will need to lease the Armory from the town, in order to create and run the future community arts and cultural center.
At that town meeting, there will be a vote to allow the town to enter into that lease agreement! We will need your votes to ensure that this happens. Hold the date Monday, May 2, Hudson High School Auditorium, 7:30 pm.
We will update you with more to come, including upcoming environmental study results and what happens next as we move towards the purchase of the Armory building from the Commonwealth.
Can you believe it’s already March 2022? On that note, there is so much to say about where we stand currently, and the next steps for the Hudson Armory Project in the coming months.

For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 13.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email:
• Within 1 business day
We will notify the users via in site notification:
• Within 1 business day
We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
CAN-SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
