Harbor Use Public Forum: Exploring the Harborwalk

Boston Harbor Now holds monthly Harbor Use Public Forums for interested stakeholders to learn about and provide feedback on waterfront developments, public planning initiatives, and other harbor projects along Boston Harbor's waterfront and on the islands. January's Harbor Use Public Forum: Exploring the Harborwalk, talks about learning about how to make the most of Boston's 43-mile shoreline. Finding public amenities available thanks to Chapter 91, discover the best places for views, learn about the interpretive signage, and see what happens when someone reports a problem.
