Benton Harbor officials working to end violence

BENTON HARBOR, Mich – Benton Harbor City Council discussed ways to make house parties and large gatherings safer at Wednesday’s City Council meeting.

House parties are a hot topic in the area because of recent events.

“There was questions about house parties and large gatherings and what could  be done”  said Darwin Watson Benton Harbor City Manager.

City Administrators confirm that there will be an announcement from Benton Harbor Public Safetty implementing safety measures regarding this issue.
