MITCHELL J. LANDRIEU, MAYOR CITY OF NEW ORLEANS February 22, 2013 Gaye Hamilton Office of the Lt. Governor Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism Office of Cultural Development P.O. Box 44247 Baton Rouge, LA 70804 Dear Ms. Hamilton: As Advisor to the Mayor on Cultural Economy for the City of New Orleans, I am pleased to offer the City s support for the expansion of the Irish Channel Cultural District (ICCD). We believe the proposed expansion of the district will add a culturally and architecturally significant area to a vital and diverse district that would not be complete without it. Cultural Districts promote preservation, arts, culture, and tourism through its two primary program benefits, the original art sales tax exemptions and the residential and commercial historical rehabilitation tax credits. The expanded ICCD will fulfill all the goals of the program. The historic Garden District will immensely benefit from rehabilitation tax credits and St. Charles Avenue and Washington Avenue include several restaurants and live music venues, as well as an art gallery, which indicates a potential for further cultural economic development. Sincerely, Scott Hutcheson Advisor to the Mayor on Cultural Economy 1300 PERDIDO STREET SUITE 2E04 NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70112 PHONE 504.658.4900 FAX 504.658.4938
