House Resolution No. by Representative Knox designates Tuesday, May 27, 2025, as DDD Day at the Capitol in recognition of the Downtown Development District (DDD) of New Orleans, which is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. Established on July 12, 1974, the DDD is notable for being the first assessment-based business improvement district in the United States. The organization began operations on January 1, 1975, and has since been involved in various initiatives, including a downtown-wide capital improvement program that allocates $5 million for the Canal Street streetscape project.

The DDD serves a specific area in downtown New Orleans, governed by an eleven-member board of commissioners appointed by local officials, reflecting the community's diversity. This resolution not only honors the DDD's contributions to the city over the past fifty years but also highlights its ongoing efforts to enhance the downtown area through various development programs.
