Communication was the theme for Whitewater Township’s achievements in 2020. Trustee Willie Pope said the trying year helped township trustees learn to communicate with each other and township residents without being in person.

The maintenance department in Crosby Township will have a new home for its equipment by the middle of this year. Last year the township started work on the estimated $160,000 maintenance building, which Trustee Doug Lohman said is one of the townships major projects in 2021.

Last year can be summed up through a variety of challenges. Harrison Township took a huge hit at the end of 2020, Trustee Tom Losekamp said.

Harrison Mayor Bill Neyer experienced one of the most unique years serving in 2020. The pandemic has everything to do with it.

The end of a trying year marks the start of what Southwest Local Schools Superintendent John Hamstra calls a game changing year for the district. Hamstra said he is proud of the work the school has done, especially during a pandemic, and he looks forward to the year ahead.

Harrison, located on the I-74 corridor between Indianapolis and Cincinnati, remains one of the fastest growing communities in Hamilton County. With easy access to the interstate, Greater Cincinnati International Airport (30 min.) and downtown Cincinnati (25 min.), residents and businesses can take advantage of all the Cincinnati region has to offer.
