The Harrisonburg City Council’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget didn’t 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 city’s 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 city’s 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 wasn’t in the Harrisonburg community’s best interest to have this property tax increase during the pandemic.
