The resolution, introduced by Representative Knox, requests the House Committee on Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs to conduct a study on the feasibility of establishing an economic development district in the Trem neighborhood of New Orleans. Recognized as the oldest African American neighborhood in the United States, Trem has a rich cultural heritage and is home to several museums and historical sites. The study aims to assess the advisability and practical effects of such a district, considering the unique historical and cultural context of the area, which may face challenges in attracting sensitive economic investment.

The committee is tasked with gathering input from a variety of local entities and businesses, including community organizations, restaurants, and cultural institutions, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the potential impacts of the proposed economic development district. The findings from this study are to be reported to the House of Representatives before the 2025 Regular Session, allowing for informed legislative action regarding the economic future of the Trem neighborhood.
