Durham to hold meeting on proposed small business program The City of Durham may establish a race- and gender-neutral Small Local Business Enterprise Program following a town hall meeting on November 14th and final review by the City Council.

The meeting will address eligibility requirements for the program, the certification process, how the program will work, and the timeline for the program implementation. There will also be a question and answer session.
