Hudson City Council approves $32K fireworks contract with Res Pyro for 2025 display

The Hudson Finance Committee made significant strides during their meeting on March 17, 2025, approving key financial decisions that will impact the community. The committee unanimously approved the minutes from the previous meeting and authorized claims totaling $626,598.34, ensuring the city’s financial obligations are met.

A highlight of the meeting was the approval of a $32,000 contract with Res Pyro for the 2025 fireworks display, a beloved annual event organized by the Hudson boosters. Public Works and Parks Director Mike Moraz emphasized that this funding comes from community subsidies and room tax dollars, rather than the general fund, making it a financially sound decision for the city.

Moraz noted that while there was consideration for bidding out the fireworks contract to explore other options, the timing was not conducive for this year. He expressed confidence in Res Pyro’s ability to deliver a high-quality show, having worked with them for several years. The additional $2,000 in the contract will extend the fireworks display from approximately 21 minutes to 23-24 minutes, enhancing the experience for attendees.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a productive session focused on community engagement and financial responsibility. As Hudson prepares for its annual fireworks display, residents can look forward to an exciting event that continues to foster community spirit.
