Organized in 1984, the InterNeighborhood Council of Durham (INC) is a coalition of Durham’s neighborhood and homeowner’s associations. Our mission is to promote the quality, stability and vitality of Durham’s residential neighborhoods. Just as many heads are better than one, neighborhoods gain strength by working together.
Durham’s INC...
- Fosters cooperation among existing neighborhood organizations.
- Encourages the establishment of neighborhood organizations where none exist.
- Takes positions on issues that affect our member neighborhoods.
- Collects and disseminates information to stimulate awareness and interest in issues.
- Works cooperatively with the City and County of Durham, and makes sure the voice of the citizen is heard via individual neighborhood organizations.
- Holds monthly meetings and invite government officials to deliberate issues, educate neighbors and brainstorm solutions.
- Recognizes Durham’s neighborhood heroes through an annual awards program.
By attending to both headline-making issues and everyday matters, the INC has been an effective advocate for neighborhood residents and an influential participant in making Durham a better place to live.
Information on the next upcoming meeting.
Steve Medlin to Speak at January, 2012 INC Meeting
Steve Medlin, Director of the Durham City-County Planning Department, will speak at the January INC Meeting. He will talk about new proposals for "compact neighborhood zoning" and "form-based design." These may not sound like exciting topics but they have the potential to change the way Durham looks and functions.
Please attend and find out about this. The INC meets at 7 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church at the corner of E. Main St. and N. Roxboro Streets in downtown Durham. Parking is available in the rear of the church, and you can enter through the rear door. Neighborhood delegates are particularly urged to attend, but any interested citizen of Durham is welcome to come.
