Neighborhood Support

Strong neighborhoods are the building blocks of a vital community. Harrison Township residents are encouraged to get involved in matters related to their neighborhoods. Support for their efforts is provided through the Development Department. The department's director is responsible for working with our neighborhoods and neighborhood associations in a positive and proactive manner.

Currently, the residents of over 15 neighborhoods have come together as associations to deal with quality of life issues that affect their immediate area. In some cases, they've banded together strictly for crime watch. In others, they also work to promote neighborhood improvement and pride. In addition to the individual Neighborhood Associations, Harrison Township has the President's Council, which is an independent organization whose members are the Presidents of the recognized Neighborhood Associations in Harrison Township. For additional information on the President's Council, click here.
