Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk and Reading Mayor Eddie Moran will hold a joint press conference in Allentown on Tuesday, July 15, to address public safety concerns related to illegal swimming in natural waterways.
City officials say the press conference will focus on the risks and ongoing issues tied to swimming in unauthorized areas, a problem that affects communities across the region.
Berks Weekly will not be attending the press conference due to scheduling conflicts and the travel time required. However, the City of Reading plans to livestream the event, and we will share that video once it becomes available.
