Town of Hudson Main Photo

Hudson, located south of Lenoir, is logistically connected via US 321 and US 321-A and is home to many of Caldwell County's industrial leaders, such as Kincaid Furniture, Shurtape Technologies, Shuford Mills and Sealed Air Corporation. Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute is one of Hudson’s most recognizable landmarks from US 321.

Hudson's downtown features a mix of mom-and-pop businesses and eateries. The HUB Station is a unique asset featuring both arts and business centers. The HUB’s goal is to inspire a coworking community for artists, small businesses, start-up companies and entrepreneurs.
