Harrison Council adopts 2025 Comprehensive Plan after debate over Powderhorn obligations
Summary
The Harrison City Council approved the 2025 Comprehensive Plan with minor edits after members debated potential service obligations tied to the Powderhorn area; the measure passed 5–1 with Council Member Will Butler recorded as the lone dissent.
The Harrison City Council voted to adopt the city's 2025 Comprehensive Plan on April 14, 2026, approving minor lettering changes and sending the document forward to Planning and Zoning. Charlie Shutt moved to approve the plan, Josephine Prophet seconded, and the motion passed with five ayes and one nay (Will Butler).
During discussion, Council Member John Gray raised concerns that a future developer in the Powderhorn area could impose service obligations on the city if development occurs, asking why Powderhorn would want to pay city taxes if no city services were provided. Mayor Wanda Irish responded that the intent is not for Harrison residents to pay for services related to Powderhorn and Josephine Prophet noted any future development would require Planning and Zoning review and subsequent council approval. The council approved the plan "condition upon the minor changes fixed," as recorded in the minutes.
