From the meeting
The strategic plan reports that the county completed the trail feasibility study and signed the contract for purchase of the 501 Railroad corridor from Norfolk Southern. Closing was expected in October 2026, with partners including NCDOT, the City of Durham, and Durham County. This is a decided land acquisition with follow-on trail development potential.
The commercial value is in the later buildout, mapping, and project support work.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
