Harrison Township

What Harrison Township does

Harrison Township is a political subdivision of the State of Ohio located in central Montgomery County, serving nearly 22,000 residents across the Northridge, Shiloh, and Ft. McKinley neighborhoods. Founded in 1841 — one month after President William Henry Harrison's death — the township delivers essential municipal services: road maintenance across 91 miles of roadway (340 mostly residential streets), fire protection through its own Fire Department, trash and recycling collection (contracted to Rumpke), zoning and code compliance, parks and recreation, and economic development programming. Law enforcement is provided through a partnership with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, and water services are administered through Montgomery County Environmental Services. The township is governed by a three-member elected Board of Trustees (currently led by President Danielle Bradley, Vice President Roland Winburn, and Trustee Georgeann Godsey) plus an elected Fiscal Officer (Craig A. Jones) and an appointed Township Administrator (Shannon Meadows) who runs day-to-day operations.

The township's technology stack is a conventional website-based service-delivery platform: the harrisontownship.org portal supports online trash-bill payment, contact and concern reporting, agenda/minute document access, permit applications, and event registration. There is no mobile app, no API platform, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities; the site carries WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility certification. Resident engagement is multi-channel: the website, a monthly "Harrison Highlights" email newsletter, Facebook and LinkedIn presence, recurring community events (Township Jamboree, Ride the Ridge, Love Thy Neighbor Cleanup, Fire Department Open House), and publicly broadcast Board of Trustees, Zoning Commission, and Board of Zoning Appeals meetings with published agendas and minutes.

Harrison Township is funded primarily through property taxes collected from residents and businesses within Montgomery County, supplemented by bi-monthly trash service fees billed to residents via Rumpke-administered collection. Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed on the township's website. As a political subdivision, the entity has no parent company, shareholders, or traditional ownership structure; it is accountable to residents through elected officials and the public-meeting process. A refreshed logo and brand identity were launched in 2025, accompanied by a structured economic-development push aimed at business attraction and retention.
