Abstract:

Some are wondering who is responsible for the problems surrounding the construction of the Durham Performing Arts Center. The city owes millions on the project and the cost of the project has gone beyond its initial projections. The center’s oversight committee will not have much power to monitor the operating agreement the center has with its promoter and booking company. Also, many of the employees who will work in the center will not be able to make a living wage working there.

Abstract:

Depending on which building is completed first, one in Florida or one in Durham, one will be declared the tallest precast, post-tensioned concrete building in the nation. The structure in Durham is the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Building.
