Fast Facts:
*         After almost 18 months of construction, the Angier-Driver Streetscape Project is done and the City of Durham is inviting the community to celebrate the end of this project, which enhances the visual appeal of the Angier-Driver commercial corridor, to spur even greater economic activity that will impact residents as well as current and future business owners.

*         Speakers include Mayor William V. "Bill" Bell, Deputy City Manager Keith Chadwell, Joe's Diner Owner Joseph Bushfan, Signature Kutz Barbershop Owner Jeffrey Warren, and Samuel & Sons Barbershop Owner Samuel Jenkins. Light refreshments from Joe's Diner will also be served.

*         The $4.8 million project, funded by 2005 bond funds, neighborhood revitalization funds and capital improvement project funds, provides new pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalks, landscaping, underground and overhead utilities, and street lights in a streetscape design similar to downtown Durham. The project extends from the intersection of Angier Avenue and Driver Street east along Angier Avenue to Briggs Avenue, and includes Driver Street north to Ashe Street. Construction began in April 2013 and the project was completed on schedule as well as on budget.
