CityLife: Southside Revitalization (January 2012)

Описание: Now that Durham's downtown is thriving and considered by many to be a true success story for revitalization, the City of Durham is turning its attention -- and resources -- to the neighborhoods that surround downtown. One community that will soon benefit from a massive investment and community rebuilding project is the Southside neighborhood, encompassing the former Rolling Hills area.

This month, "CityLife" Host Beverly B. Thompson is joined by Community Development Department Interim Director Reginald Johnson to discuss this immense revitalization project, when residents can expect to see progress, and the impact it will have on the quality of life for all who call this area of our community home.

"CityLife" also goes outside of the studio to talk with Marie Hunter, president of the Southside Neighborhood Association, and Evan Covington-Chavez, director of Real Estate for the Center for Community Self-Help, to see first-hand the changes already occurring in Southside and what's next for this historic community.

"CityLife" also chats with Karl Schlatcher, senior vice president of McCormack Baron Salazar, to learn about the developer's plans for the Rolling Hills portion of Southside and when residents will soon see bulldozers on site turning this now-vacant area into new, affordable housing.
