Thousands of Harrison residents remain without power, but travel has become less of an issue, according to an update Mayor/Supervisor Ron Belmont provided Thursday night.
The update provided more grim news; residents are still facing more than a week without power in some areas. Belmont said it could still take until Nov. 11 for the town's power to be fully restored.
Harrison public schools will be closed again Friday, the fourth consecutive day, because of outages in district buildings, Belmont said.
