4th Judicial District Judge Wes Bradford asked that we share this important information.

Look who made the Harrison Daily Times. If you missed the meeting, all of the presentations are on the City's website: HarrisonAR.gov, located under the "More" tab.

Welcome, Lindsey Severs, to the Harrison Police Department as our newest patrolman. Mayor Jerry Jackson swore in Patrolman Severs.

I wanted to thank everyone who attended the Downtown Rising: Opportunity Summit on Monday afternoon. It exceeded our expectations with 130 people in attendance. The following day, I received calls from three individuals. Two were interested in doing business on the square, and one was interested in buying a building.

I didn’t expect all of that to come immediately. However, the word is out that our downtown area is on the rise. We have a lot in store for the future. Thanks again for supporting downtown Harrison.

If you missed the meeting or would like to see the presentations again, they are all available on our website. Visit HarrisonAR.Gov and look under the “more” tab.

The Harrison City Council is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in council chambers at City Hall, 118 Industrial Park Road. Follow the link below for a preview of the meeting.
