This Golden LEAF grant will be used to build a 23,000 square foot facility in the old Five Points area of Durham. The neighborhood suffers from higher unemployment and poverty than other areas of Durham and has been designated an official redevelopment area. The facility will house retail establishments, a business incubator, offices, and residences. The project is expected to create 65 full time and 20 part time jobs. UDI currently has a poll of entrepreneurs in its incubation program that are likely candidates to occupy the newly renovated space.
