Duke's $203M Investment Boosts Triangle Region

0:00Durham's story is making news on March 18th. Duke University and its health system are investing $203 million over the next three years in the Triangle region. The program, called Homegrown, aims to boost local growth through targeted efforts. It focuses on four main areas, hiring more people, building new facilities, buying from local suppliers and investing in community projects. Duke created the plan with input from residents in Durham and Wake Counties, along with community groups, business owners, and even its own employees. The big idea is to make sure everyone shares in the area's rapid expansion and gains better economic opportunities for families. Officials say this will help more people build stable lives amid all the changes, spreading the benefits of growth wider. The Daily News Now is made possible with support from our sponsor.
