The Town will be reimbursed for 80 percent of the project expenses by the City of Durham. The Town is required to provide the local match of 20 percent of expenditures for this project. Local matching funds of $15,742 are budgeted for this purpose in the Town’s General Fund. There is no State participation in this project.
