"In an effort to keep the Harrison government as open as possible and transparent, I say hello to all Harrisonites and welcome you to my new TV series," Belmont says in the opening of the first episode of "Harrison Now."
The 20-minute first episode concentrates on the State of the Town address, which Belmont released on the town website back in April. Belmont discusses achievements from 2012 such as the newly-designed town website, the town clerk's office increasing revenue by nearly 30 percent, and a no-knock registry designed to keep away door-to-door salespeople. He also talks about new sidewalks that the town has installed on Purchase Street, Anderson Hill Road, and in front of Town/Village Hall and the Harrison Public Library, as well as a new playground constructed in Congress Street Park.
Belmont says that Harrison residents have much to look forward to in 2013, including the adoption of a new Master Plan for the town and the beginning of renovations to the library. He also said that police will be working on implementing a Child ID system, and creating a emergency operations center at Town/Village Hall.
Belmont plans to continue with the video series, and hopes to release a new installment every month highlighting the accomplishments of the town.
