Doug Schaeffer, 28 Eaton Drive informed the Board that there is a recycling dumpster in the parking lot of the downtown Fire Station.

- Meetings and Public Hearings - 7:00 PM:
Ann Hurd and John Olsen of Intel gave the Board a brief status of the building. Ms. Hurd stated that in September 2013 it was announced that all manufacturing in the Hudson plant would cease. This reason for this is that the fabrication plant (fab) is simply too small per Intel’s standards to accommodate the changes in technology.
Intel’s original objective was to sell the fab as an operating factory and subsequently they were approached by several interest parties. The building proved to be too large and the operating costs too great for any of the potential buyers to commit. Another issue was that other potential buyers wanted to take ownership right away however the process of decontaminating and decommissioning the fab takes upwards of two years. Active marketing of the site ceased last fall due to these constraints.
Ms. Hurd assured the Board that Intel will not be leaving Hudson nor will they be selling the site. However, in order for this site to continue to be viable for Intel they will be making significant changes.
Mr. Olsen explained the decontamination and decommissioning process. He then explained that the fab and the central utility building will be taken down. This site will be taken back to a park like setting once the process is completed. The demolition will begin in 2017.
The Board was pleased that Intel will be remaining in Town.
