Special Projects
Thanks to Durham County Government’s successful implementation of a strong culture of innovation, we have yielded special projects displaying our organizations’ value of new trends, technology, and process improvement.
The Durham County Public Information Office is occasionally tasked to address needs or challenges experienced by any of the County’s 30+ departments. In response, the PIO team produces a range of resources to support the coordination, development, and deployment solution-oriented special projects.
Below we highlight a few current projects.

Neighborhood College
Durham City-County Neighborhood College is a unique educational program offered by Durham City and County governments. It includes a series of classes that will provide information on key City and County services. Participants will have a chance to meet and interact with City and County staff and learn things about government that they've always wanted to know but didn't know whom to ask!
Durham Neighborhood College offers one session each year.

National County Government Month
National County Government Month (NCGM), held each April, is an annual celebration of county government. Since 1991, the National Association of Counties has encouraged counties to actively promote county roles and responsibilities in serving residents.
NCGM is an excellent opportunity for Durham County to highlight effective or innovative county programs and raise public awareness of services provided to the community.
