DHA Downtown & Neighborhood Planning (DDNP)

Durham's downtown area is undergoing some dramatic changes with important affordable housing developments on the way. The DHA Downtown and Neighborhood Plan (DDNP) was initiatied from a partnership between the City of Durham, Durham County and DHA, to collectively focus on nearly 60 acres of publicly owned land in downtown Durham to develop a single development framework

that simultaneously addresses the needs of all

parties.
