Durham Mayor Bill Bell highlighted Durham’s economic progress and laid out goals for the city in the coming year during his annual State of the City speech to the Durham City Council last Monday. He spoke about the opening of four new hotels, increased public-private partnerships in downtown development and efforts to promote mixed-income housing units as indicators of the year’s economic success. He also laid out tasks the city will address during the coming year, including crime prevention and efforts to preserve affordable housing options. The presentation featured a video of city employees highlighting Durham’s 2015 accomplishments to the tune of the Montell Jordan hit, “This is How We Do It.” The Chronicle’s Sarah Kerman spoke with Bell about his plans following his address.
