Bill > SCR18

This concurrent resolution designates Tuesday, May 6, 2025, as Main Street Day at the Louisiana State Capitol, recognizing the significant economic and community development achievements of Louisiana Main Street, a program that has been helping revitalize historic downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts since 1984. The resolution highlights the program's impressive economic impact, including generating $113 in new investment for every $1 invested in Fiscal Year 2023-2024, creating 16,809 new jobs, and supporting 3,974 new businesses across 37 designated communities throughout Louisiana. The resolution also acknowledges that Louisiana Main Street is part of a larger national network of over 1,600 Main Street communities and celebrates the program's proven model of economic development, which demonstrates that when downtown and neighborhood commercial districts grow, the entire community benefits. Additionally, the resolution commends Louisiana Main Street and its designated communities for their outstanding downtown revitalization efforts and directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to specific state officials in the Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism.
