[Matt Dudek]

I would also like to serve on this committee. I'm an urban planning
student an UNC and have focused some of my studying on this subject.

Thanks!

My idea is simply to gather information  about ways to mitigate this blight.  The committee will talk to NIS, talk to Preservation NC and Preservation Durham, talk to the many affordable housing groups in Durham, talk to urban planning experts in the area, research what other cities have done, in short, anything we can think of, to come up with ideas.  My hope is that the INC will be able to use this to propose a new ordinance or new practices by the city.  I don't have an agenda or some prearranged solution.  I just want to see if there is something more we can do.
