Answer from Mary E Roehm:
1) Managing growth- Harrison has a good Land Use Plan. We should adhere to it when considering new residential developments. The plan that is best for our community is not necessarily the most profitable for the developer.
2) Economic development- We should work to attract developments that will create good-paying jobs and stimulate economic growth.
