Fast Facts:

*         The Durham City-County Planning Department is updating the
Durham Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the Board of County Commissioners
and the City Council in 2005. The Durham Comprehensive Plan is the
County's and City's statement about how the community should grow and
develop. The plan deals with physical aspects of the community's growth
and development and also guides how the City and County provide public
facilities and regulate new development.

 

*         These three sessions will be an opportunity for the public to
provide input on proposed changes to the Durham Comprehensive Plan. It
will also be an opportunity to learn more about the Durham Comprehensive
Plan, the update process and schedule, and meet with staff.
