Bull City Forward Advances 'Bold Vision'

Exciting stuff - I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out. It's encouraging that the exec board draws from all the important players: Duke, NCCU, Durham gov't, Durham Tech, NC State, local business leaders, and local non-profits.

"Bull City Forward, an organization that will draw support from the city’s political, business and nonprofit sectors, will grow and support social entrepreneurs in a 30,000-square-foot “social innovation campus,” to be located downtown.

It will establish the Bull City as a national beacon for social innovation, Gergen and others said in recent interviews, in the way that Research Triangle Park put the region on the map for technology and research 50 years ago."
