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 landmarks that celebrate African American history. The resolution emphasizes the importance of economic development in historic areas like Trem, while also highlighting the need for investment that respects and preserves the neighborhood's unique cultural identity.

The study aims to assess the advisability and practical effects of creating this economic development district and is required to report its findings to the House of Representatives before the 2025 Regular Session. In conducting the study, the committee is instructed to gather 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 and benefits of such a development initiative.
