House Bill No. by Representative Thompson amends the boundaries of the Walnut Street Special District in the city of Monroe. The bill specifically modifies R.S. 33:9038.69(B) to include additional areas within the district. The current law defines the district as comprising the area of the city of Monroe in the blocks of 108-128 Walnut Street to Art Alley (2nd Street). The new language expands the district to also include 210-220 Desiard Street, 233 South Grand Street, and 103/105 Wood Street, thereby broadening the scope of the district for economic development purposes.

The Walnut Street Special District serves as a political subdivision aimed at fostering cooperative economic development between the district, the city of Monroe, and local business owners. The bill retains the existing provisions regarding the governance and powers of the district while specifically expanding its geographical boundaries to enhance infrastructure development and related economic activities.
