In honor of Fire Safety Month, Northark Intern Ashley Copeland gathered information and safety tips from each Harrison Firefighter! Today, let's meet Lt. Chad Morris.

The Harrison community will honor and celebrate the life of Ken Bailey on Saturday, Oct. 11, at St. John's Episcopal Church from 4 to 5 p.m. The celebration of life will continue at the Lyric Theater from 5 to 8 p.m. Ken was known for his civic roles and volunteer efforts with the Ozark Arts Council as a founding member/executive director. His commitment to the arts and culture in our region left a meaningful legacy. He always offered a warm smile and a helping hand to those around him. Ken also founded the House of Hope and always helped others in need.

Thanks to Robert and some of the guys from The Woodshed who helped clean up what is commonly called "The Hole in the Wall."

When I became Mayor, I saw a real need to communicate regularly with our citizens about what’s happening in our city. To accomplish that, we created this official City of Harrison Facebook page as a reliable source of information.
We also hired Public Relations Director Donna Braymer, who has done an outstanding job keeping both our residents and the broader community informed about city projects, events, and progress.
This page is not designed for debate, discussion, or public comments. It exists solely to share accurate information directly from your city government. Turning off comments has been reviewed and approved by both our local legal team and the Arkansas Municipal League.
Our Facebook page has now grown to nearly 18,000 followers, and we hope it continues to serve as a helpful and trusted source of information for everyone.

The Downtown Bridge is making great progress!


Great things are happening downtown. The Bennett Building is receiving a new roof as part of the restoration work after a fire several months ago. The courtyard trees have been trimmed, and dangerous limbs or trees have been removed. Thank you, Boone County!
