City of Harrison

Here's an important update from the Boone County District Judge Wes Bradford.

There is a County-wide burn ban in place until further notice, posted by County Judge Robert Hathaway.

Don't miss this fun on Thursday, Jan. 1. Hurry and get registered!!!

Mike Nabors (left) invited Mayor Jerry Jackson (right) to participate in the retirement celebration for Tim Stretton, who began working at the Mill before its completion and then continued as the head baker for more than 25 years. Congratulations, Tim Stretton.

Also on Christmas Eve, a fire alarm was activated at the Smurfit Westrock plant. Thankfully, there was no fire, and the B-Shift firefighters decided to practice setting up the ladder truck. Chief Marc Lowery said that firefighters never miss an opportunity to train. Thank you, HFD. A citizen submitted this photo of the ladder truck in action.

City Hall will be closed on Thursday, Jan. 1. Offices will reopen on Friday, Jan. 2. As always, you can make payments at harrisonar.gov 24/7.

There will be no changes to trash service this week! Thank you, LRS. Happy New Year!
