Whereas, the Carolina Theatre is the keystone to the economic revitalization of downtown Durham, providing the link between the Durham Civic Center and the Durham Arts Council; and
Whereas, the renovated and expanded Carolina Threatre promises to bring people from throughout the central North Carolina region to downtown Durham every day and every evening of the year; and
