The City-County Planning Department has unveiled the Durham Planning Dashboard, a new tool aimed at increasing transparency and fostering collaboration with the public, planning commissioners, and elected officials. This interactive platform offers a user-friendly way to explore planning initiatives, understand their purpose, and assess their potential impact on the community.
The dashboard provides access to data from various planning department workgroups, allowing users to dive into specific projects or utilize mapping tools for a closer look. Community members are encouraged to ask questions, contribute ideas, and engage in shaping Durham’s future through the platform.
While the dashboard is a powerful resource for staying informed and involved, users should be aware of certain limitations in its scope and functionality. Despite these restrictions, the Planning Department invites everyone to explore the site and participate in meaningful dialogue about the city’s development.
This initiative underscores Durham’s commitment to accessibility, collaboration, and informed decision-making in urban planning.
