Senator Rosenberg got Cultural Districts language passed in the Economic Development bill in 2010. Cities and towns can now apply for certain areas to be established as cultural districts, which will encourage more tourism and creative industries to come to the area. It will also let communities show off their unique cultural sense of identity, and will have a greater ease in finding state programs and grants to support them.
