Holding Onto What Makes Harrison Home

In Harrison, Ohio, the past and future often meet at the same table, sometimes over coffee at the Community Center, sometimes at a new business ribbon-cutting, and always in the hearts of the people who call this city home.

As our community grows, so does the conversation. New developments bring opportunities and questions. Online forums reflect a range of voices, some excited, some concerned, all passionate. That passion is a sign of something deeper: people care about Harrison.

Whether you’ve lived here for 50 years or just moved in, there’s a shared love for the things that make Harrison special: the historic downtown, the friendly waves from neighbors, the way the community shows up for each other.

The City is working to balance progress with preservation.
