Hudson council approves school police agreement and six-month data-center application stay

Hudson City Council approved two measures affecting school safety and the city’s development pipeline during its July 14, 2026, meeting: a police-services agreement with the Hudson City School District and a six-month stay on new data-center applications.

The school agreement, authorized through Resolution 26-102, concerns police presence in Hudson schools for the safety of staff, students and visitors. The action involves the City of Hudson, the Hudson Police Department and the Hudson City School District.

School police agreement approved

The council’s approval makes the police-services agreement a final council action rather than a proposal. The available meeting record identifies the purpose of the agreement as providing police presence in schools, but it does not state the agreement’s dollar value or staffing schedule.

That means the approved record establishes the service arrangement and its stated safety purpose without establishing how many officers will be assigned, how often they will be present or what the agreement will cost. The city has not been reported here as adding a specific officer or guaranteeing a particular level of daily coverage.

New data-center applications paused

Council also approved a six-month stay on new data-center applications. The stay temporarily pauses the submission or processing of new applications during that period while the city considers related development and regulatory questions.

The action is not a ban on data centers. The reported measure applies to new applications, and the available record does not establish that existing data-center projects are halted. The official search result also does not provide the full text of the stay legislation or an exact expiration date.

For Hudson, the two decisions address separate parts of city policy at the same meeting. The school agreement concerns police presence for people in school buildings. The application stay temporarily changes the city’s development review pipeline while officials consider questions connected to data-center development.

What comes next

Hudson’s official council calendar lists a July 28 workshop, followed by council meetings on Aug. 11 and Aug. 18, 2026. Those are the next listed opportunities for additional council discussion or action, although the approved packet does not specify which meeting, if any, will address the data-center stay or the school agreement.

Hudson is an Ohio city governed by a seven-member City Council. The July 14 meeting record is the basis for the reported approvals.
