Community leaders from Duke Health, Novo Nordisk, Made in Durham, and the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce voiced strong support for the proposed Durham Tech bond referendum this fall, which would build a new Health Sciences Center, Life Sciences Training Center, a pedestrian connector over Lawson Street, and acquisition of property for future expansion of Main Campus.
