With such a close proximity to Manhattan and all that the City of New York has to offer, yet still allowing the smaller town feel, Harrison will only continue to grow and thrive. In preparation for the anticipated population growth, some areas and effects of development include:

• In August 2010, the town accepted a grant used toward the re-zoning of a parking area near the train station. This is the first step needed to eventually develop the area into residences, retail shops, and a parking garage.
• Proposed development included in the town’s Master Plan will create an estimated 2,400 jobs, resulting in a ripple effect of increased spending and needs for housing in the area.
• Many areas within Harrison and nearby locations in Westchester County are subject to intensive development or redevelopment, as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan 2006 draft. The Town/Village respects the residents’ strong desire to keep the area’s surburban characteristics.
• On a job listing website, 165,000+ employment opportunities were available within a 25 mile radius of Harrison, and with future projects on the horizon, this number will only continue to grow.
