DISTRICTS/ECONOMIC DEVEL: Provides for a Lafitte Greenway Economic Development District
This bill modifies the text of a previous measure to establish an Economic Development District for the Lafitte Greenway. By removing specific street references, the amendment adjusts the geographic boundaries of the district to align with updated plans for the project. The change directly affects local economic development efforts by refining the area where targeted business incentives and support can be applied.
