Hudson won the sixth annual America’s Main Street Contest, which began in September and announced a winner Monday. The town of about 20,000 people directly north of Marlborough emerged as the winner among more than 200 entrants nationwide.
The nod as America’s best Main Street comes with a prize of $25,000, which the town said use to expand the cultural footprint of Downtown Hudson and fund the growth of the community.
Hudson has evolved over the last decade into a hub of restaurants, breweries and retail options.
Many of those businesses rallied together to start a “We Heart Hudson” campaign to bolster voter turnout in the nationwide competition.
