Community News
Community news for Grant Street is a way of keeping neighbors informed about what’s happening in and around our neighborhood—projects, events, decisions, and opportunities that impact our shared life together. It helps us stay connected, build trust, and make sure everyone has access to what they need to participate in shaping the future of our community.
Community Garden Update
The Grant Street Community Garden has reached another exciting milestone! After completing the required City of Durham grant orientation, we're one step closer to breaking ground on a shared space where neighbors can gather, grow fresh food, and strengthen community.
With funding on the way and volunteer leadership in place, construction will begin soon. Read the latest update and see what's next for the garden project.
The First Sketch for the Grant Street Community Garden
Together, the community has shared ideas, stories, hopes, memories, and practical needs for the space — intentionally centering residential input from the people who live, worship, gather, and have deep roots in this neighborhood. Those conversations are now beginning to take shape in the form of our first draft sketch for the Grant Street Community Garden, a project being developed in partnership with Monument of Faith Church.
