Phoenix Fest 2008

 Fayetteville Street Business District

    Urban renewal destroyed Hayti’s infrastructure but not its pride and self-determination. A generation later the pride is back, embodied by entrepreneurs who chose the Fayetteville Street Corridor as the place to live and work. The same entrepreneurial spirit that created over 150 businesses from Pettigrew Street to Fayetteville Street over a century ago has fueled a five-fold increase in the number of businesses along Fayetteville Street since urban renewal.

     Besides being the major north-south surface route through the city, Fayetteville Street is a gateway into downtown and contains Durham's only African American local historic district. As Durham continues to grow, Fayetteville Street's central location and access to major transportation corridors will position it as a significant business corridor in Durham.
