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.
Growing the Space for What Comes Next
The Grant Street Community Garden is taking shape at 805 Simmons Street, thanks to the care and hard work of neighbors and volunteers. We’ve received quotes for a new fence and irrigation system, identified a potential $4,500 contribution from Durham Community Land Trustees, and connected with a potential donor who may help fund these improvements. Read the latest update on our progress and what’s next for this neighborhood space.
