County Executive Guy Statement on Commissioners' Vote Approving 2026 Budget

Hudson County Executive Craig Guy applauded the Board of County Commissioners for voting to pass the 2026 Hudson County budget during a public hearing. The budget includes a $1.3 million amendment bolstering legal service, rental assistance, and food security programs in Hudson County.

“As County Executive, I have prioritized investing in services for the most vulnerable residents in Hudson County, and this budget continues to build on these investments. This budget funds resources that will keep residents in their homes and programs that ensure no family will go hungry. And we continue to maintain a budget that is fiscally responsible to our taxpayers.

This budget is the result of working in partnership with our Board of Commissioners, non-profit leaders, community advocates, and everyday residents. I am grateful for the steadfast support of Governor Sherrill, Senate President Scutari, and Speaker Coughlin, and for their commitment to understanding and addressing the needs of Hudson County families.

I am proud of this budget. While Hudson County faces challenges, I remain focused on making Hudson County an affordable community, providing residents with first-rate services, and creating opportunities for all.”
