The Harrisonburg City Councilâs Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget didnât include funding for the continued construction of Harrisonburg High School 2. This was announced at the City Council meeting on April 13, despite the realization of HHS 2 being a precedent in response to severe overcrowding of the cityâs only high school. Closures of the JMU and EMU campuses, alongside the closing of local businesses ordered by the governor, were cited as negative contributions to the cityâs major revenue sources by Eric Campbell, Harrisonburg city manager. The project was initially approved with funding through a multi-year real estate tax increase, but Campbell said it wasnât in the Harrisonburg communityâs best interest to have this property tax increase during the pandemic.
