Partners in Progress

DDI is the engine behind downtown Durham’s meteoric economic development. You can be part of this continued growth by becoming a Partner in Progress.

The PiP program makes it possible for DDI to build on its solid, 25-year foundation by providing funds for strategic economic development to benefit existing businesses and attract new businesses to downtown.

PiP economic development initiatives include:

  • Targeted developer/investor recruitment
  • Economic Development
  • Studies/Reports
  • Additional Ped Counters
  • Marketing materials about downtown Durham, including video, electronic and print materials
  • Peer city visits & benchmarking
  • Signature DDI Reports
    • Annual Report
    • State of Downtown
    • Quarterly Reports

In addition to being an integral part of downtown Durham’s success, Partners receive benefits of membership, including tickets to major DDI events, sponsor recognition in event materials, inclusion in the DDI Referral List and listing on the DDI website.

Event sponsorships are also available. For more information about Partners in Progress, contact Nicole J. Thompson
