Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the arts and cultural affairs law, in relation to authorizing the council on the arts to designate Little Yemen as a cultural district
AI Summary
This bill empowers the Council on the Arts to officially designate "Little Yemen" as a cultural district within New York City, specifically defining its boundaries as being west of White Plains Road, east of Bronxdale Avenue, and south of Van Nest Avenue. This designation is an addition to existing cultural districts like East Harlem, also known as "El Barrio," and the Harlem Renaissance Cultural District, and it allows the Council to provide grants, technical assistance, and other support to cultural institutions within these recognized areas, provided that any newly designated regions are compact, contiguous, and possess a distinct, unifying cultural heritage.
