[Durham INC] Thank you (Duke Rezoning)

[Jeannine Privat, BANA President]

Thank you for your support, John. Our neighborhood appreciates it.

While I have been disappointed with some of our conversations, I would like
to make clear that we have had conversations both with Duke representatives
*,* as well as their Morningstar attorney.

We have made (and continue to make) a good faith effort to communicate with
both Duke representatives and their Morningstar attorney. We have met with
a good number of Duke folks, many of whom I can only say good things about.
Still, the most recent revision of the application reflecting Duke's
institutional priorities did not provide those commitments our neighborhood
feels are necessary to maintain the safety, character, and quiet enjoyment
of our Burch Avenue neighborhood.

Our neighborhood hopes to have the continued support of fellow Durham
neighbors in INC as this process moves forward. We'll be in touch with
updates!

Jeannine
