Harrisville’s Town policies and ordinances support living and working in Harrisville. Both Home Occupations (Zoning Ordinance 4.1.18) and Home-Based Businesses (Zoning Ordinance 4.1.19) are permissible uses of residential property.
Agricultural uses are pursued throughout the Town, with a number of property owners engaged in a variety of farm and home produce activities.
In addition, Harrisville’s industrial past as a historic mill town is honored by the continued use of many of the old mill buildings and properties for contemporary professional and business uses. (The Town is fortunate to benefit from the preservation efforts of the non-profit Historic Harrisville, which owns most of the property in the Town’s Commercial and Industrial zones.)
