Here's a Monday, Jan. 26, 2026, Harrison Street update.
Many people are working around the clock to keep our citizens safe and keep our roads as clear as possible. Thank you!
Don't forget the Historic Tax Credit Seminar has been postponed.
All city offices will be closed on Monday, January 26. Stay home and stay safe!
This is an Important message from LRS- South / GFL Environmental, your solid waste provider.
Due to ongoing hazardous weather conditions—including snow- and ice-covered roads and parking lots, along with temperatures well below freezing — we will not be running routes on Monday, January 26, and all facilities will be closed.
We will continue to evaluate road and weather conditions over the next 24–48 hours and will share updates as soon as it is safe to resume service.

LRS stated that as the winter storm began, they would assess road conditions on Sunday evening to determine if residential routes would run on Monday. When a decision is made, it will be posted on our social media sites. Thank you for your patience. Citizens are still advised to stay off the roads unless it is an emergency. (File photo)
Spread the word. The only warming station in Harrison is located at 1101 Radio Ave. at the former Gibson Office Supply building.
The Harrison Fire Department responded to a call around midnight of a house fire in the city limits. They battled the flames and stayed on scene until about 4 a.m. Prayers for the displaced family, and grateful there were no injuries to the occupants or rescue personnel.
Thank you, Lee Dunlap and the Harrison Daily Times. We appreciate all the work Explore Harrison, and Recovery Center of the Ozarks did for our community. The decorations were beautiful. And thanks to the Downtown Beautification effort by the City, the downtown lights are still a sight to behold!

If you missed Mayor Jackson's important announcement at City Council, here is a short version. The full press release will be in the Weekend edition of the Harrison Daily Times.
From my heart …
After much reflection, prayer, and conversation with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election as Mayor. This was not a decision made lightly. While my primary focus between now and the March 3 primary election will be reminding Harrison voters to approve the continuation of the two taxes, while keeping Harrison City's sales tax among the lowest in cities of similar size and population.
I see no reason to delay sharing my decision. Making it public now will give others ample time to consider their own plans and make announcements if they choose.
Serving as your mayor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I have done my best to approach this office the way I believe our community expects its leaders to serve — by showing up, listening, working hard, and keeping the long-term good of our community at the center of every decision. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, and I am deeply grateful to you for entrusting me with this responsibility.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to our City Council, city employees, department heads, first responders, volunteers, and community leaders. You serve this city with heart, and it has been an honor to work alongside you. To the citizens of Harrison, thank you for your support and for the accountability that makes public service meaningful.
Our city is strong, and I believe our best days are ahead. I will continue to support the future of this community in every way I can. Thank you for the honor of serving as your Mayor.

Please read and understand how Public Works plans to maintain our streets and your neighborhood. COO Wade Phillips said at the Council meeting that the expected snow and temperatures could be so cold that the street salt might not melt it. So some areas may have to wait for some sunshine plus city salt. Stay home if possible!
The City Council's Saturday meeting scheduled at Creekside for Saturday morning has been postponed.
A warming shelter is available at 1101 Radio Ave. at the former Gibson Office Supply building.
This informal meeting with Council members will be rescheduled.
