Township Clean-Up Day
Harrison Township along with the City of Harrison sponsored a clean-up day, which was a huge success. Among the items collected and recycled were tires, appliance, yard waste, paint, chemicals, computers, and other trash.
Township Purchases New Fire Pumper/Tanker Truck
The township purchased this new piece of equipment replacing two outdated units. The new Engine 57 is a 2008 Pierce Contender. It has a 2,080 gallon water tank and 1,250 gpm pump. It is powered by a Cummins 6 cylinder diesel with approximately 360 hp. This truck has the capabilities of fighing fires in more remote areas of the township and can hold and pump a much higher rate of water than the two old units. This engine also helped the Harrison Fire Department ISO rating, which in some cases can lower home owner's insurance rates.
Harrison Township/City of Harrison Joint Economic Development District
New development is taking place in the township's Joint Economic Development District located in the Simonson Road area. In time, this district will build a tax base for the township and jobs for its residents.
Harrison Township Gateway
Harrison Township has a beautiful gateway thanks to the donations and hard work of many volunteers. This on going project is headed up by the Shaker Farms Garden Club. Keep an eye out for future expansion. If you would like to help out, please contact the Garden Club.
