come from its infrastructure development. The city is currently working on several major projects, including the replacement of a bridge over Crooked Creek and the construction of three new roundabouts. These improvements are part of a broader effort to enhance the city’s transportation network and make Harrison more accessible and attractive to residents and visitors alike. The Creekside Community Center, set to open soon, will be a centerpiece of the city’s efforts to improve the quality of life for its residents. The center will include an aquatics facility, game room, Esports, three courts for hosting basketball, volleyball, and pickleball as well as meeting rooms for community events, parties, and more. An outdoor music venue will be added to Creekside, another mountain bike trail, and hopefully restoring the Creek to free-flowing to provide downtown recreational opportunities for people of all ages. “Everything we focus on right now is quality of life, not only for our people, but for people that move here,” Mayor Jackson states. As Harrison looks to the future, its leadership is focused on several key objectives that will continue to drive the city’s growth and development. These include attracting new industries, further expanding the city’s infrastructure, and enhancing the quality of life for residents. The city’s low cost of living, combined with its strategic investments in amenities, infrastructure, and incredibly low real estate and sales taxes, makes Harrison an attractive destination for young retirees and families alike. With a steady stream of new projects and initiatives on the horizon, the city is poised to continue its upward trajectory, offering a vibrant, welcoming community where people can live, work, and play. Harrison’s success story is a testament to the power of strong leadership, strategic planning, and a commitment to the community. 158 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 09
