Harristown Development

Harristown is a private non-profit organization formed in 1974 to revive Harrisburg's failing downtown and to reestablish the Harrisburg core area as the heart of the City, the economic and cultural center of the metropolitan area and as a thriving capital city. Since the inception of the Harristown Urban Renewal Project and the formation of Harristown, Harrisburg has seen dramatic economic, cultural and community development. The City has prospered from the realization of numerous projects undertaken and completed by Harristown in collaboration with local, state and federal governments and the private sector.
