Harrisburg Town Council approved a resolution to adopt an official town
flag Monday, December 10 [2018]. The flag's design was submitted anonymously and
selected by residents via online voting methods.
In March 2018, Hickory
Ridge High School student Jonathan Andrus proposed that the Town hold a
contest to select an official Town of Harrisburg flag. The Town received more
than 50 entries from graphic designers, school children and other Harrisburg
residents. Town Council, Town staff and Andrus reviewed the entries, reduced
the pool to the top five designs and opened online voting for residents. The
Town received 1,124 votes on the five flag designs, with "Flag Design #2"
receiving the most votes (357). This design was hand drawn when it was
submitted, so the Town used a graphic designer to convert the design into a
digital format and make minor tweaks, like add color.
Flag description
from the designer: The flag represents all characteristics of the town. The
railroad tracks are prominently showcased as they are the genesis of the
town's foundation. Flowing with the railroad tracks are waves that represent
the rivers that are also prominent in Harrisburg's history and current
development. From left to right above the railroad tracks and river are
representations of a naturally wooded and agricultural area (shown with tree
lines, silo, and harvested fields) which were the most common land uses
historically. From the farmland it rolls into the residential/suburban
characteristics of the town (shown by the outline of homes), which has been
growing exponentially over the past decade. Beyond the suburban residential
areas is the Harrisburg Town Hall showcased as the most recognizable building
in town. Moving further right from the Town Hall is additional natural areas
and tree lines, with the skyline of Charlotte in the background. Harrisburg
having the small town rural characteristics of rolling farmland, but also the
developed residential areas and close proximity to the Charlotte metro area
make it one of the most desirable places to live in North Carolina, and I
think this flag represents all of those elements.
