Highlights about Sustainability

The Durham City Council celebrated the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People’s 90th anniversary, then sparred over a trespass decision tied to a disruptive swearing‑in night. The council unanimously adopted the Downtown Durham Blueprint: 2035, approved a small Page Road townhouse rezoning, and unanimously rejected a noncontiguous Hamlin Road annexation outside the urban growth boundary; the Leigh Village Center hearing was continued to February amid traffic study and process concerns.
