Baltimore celebrates clean harbor milestone, Councilman Conway highlights progress

At least 150 people took a plunge into the Inner Harbor on a hot and steamy Sunday.

The Waterfront Partnership launched the Healthy Harbor Initiative in 2010 with a goal to create a swimmable and fishable harbor and the nonprofit announced last month that significant progress has been made in improving water quality.

On the C4 and Bryan Nehman Show this morning, Chairman of Baltimore City’s Public Safety Committee, Mark Conway, said the city has come a long way in cleaning up the Harbor.

“We can all remember a decade or so ago, the condition of the harbor and some of the issues we had in the harbor…. To get to a point where we can jump in….. I think is a big moment for the city.”
