Department's Motivation
The zoning and planning of a City results in the creation of the atmosphere and environment in which all citizens exist. We believe that existence should be in safe, clean and harmonious neighborhoods. We do what we do because we have been given the responsibility to, to the best of our ability, help the City achieve these goals. Harrison is a community with unlimited potential whose only limitation is its own imagination. It is our job to help the people of Harrison both foster that imagination and assist in making their dreams, no matter how big or small, come true within the limits prescribed by the code.
