Durham Launches Push to Expand Employee-Owned Businesses

Original: Keep It Durham-Owned Initiative Aims to Expand Employee Ownership of Local Businesses

A new initiative called Keep It Durham-Owned is working to expand employee ownership of local businesses in Durham, North Carolina. The effort aims to help local companies transition to worker- or employee-owned models, keeping businesses rooted in the community as owners retire or sell. It reflects a broader national interest in employee ownership as a way to preserve local economies and prevent outside buyouts.

Why now: Employee ownership is gaining attention as a tool to keep local businesses from leaving communities when owners retire.
