Mr. Chaz Hallis, 2944 Chamberlin Blvd., owner of Sky Zone, spoke in favor of Council's passage of Resolution
No. 23-111. He was thankful that the City of Hudson extended water to his business in 2014, and he was
anxious to have this new business as a neighbor, saying that Hudson City Schools would benefit from the
property taxes.
Mayor Bill Goncy, of Boston Heights, thanked Council members and staff for the opportunity to speak . He said
that in 2008, Hudson and Boston Heights entered into the MOU, agreeing to work together to attract
commercial development for the benefit of both communities. He urged Council to consider how passage of
Resolution No. 23-111 will help both communities and the Hudson School District.
Mr. Scott Allison, local small business owner, spoke in support of Resolution No. 23-111. He said he purchased
the subject property, confident that the laws in place and the precedent established with water extension to Sky
Zone would provide the ability to connect this property to Hudson's water system. He said that while he could
open the fireworks store without the water connection, it would make no sense to be forced in that direction . He
noted that he was willing to comply with Hudson's Code and thanked Council for their consideration .
