Durham County Government continued its excellent recent run in the national Digital Counties Survey by tying for second place among counties with a population of 250,000-499,999. The congratulatory announcement was made by the Center for Digital Government (CDG) and the National Association of Counties (NACo) came on Thursday, July 11, 2019.
