Plans are in the works to establish a cultural products district in Mid City, the third section of the city where original works of art will be exempted from sales taxes. The Mid City district would be centered on Government Street, roughly bordered by Interstate 110 to the west, Claycut Road to the south, North Street to the north and Kentwood Avenue to the east. Earlier this year, cultural products district were established for downtown and a section of Perkins Road. The designation will also make historic buildings in the district eligible for state sales tax breaks, as long as they are renovated according to proper guidelines. A meeting to discuss the district will be held at 6 p.m. tonight in the conference room at Baton Rouge General Medical Center Mid City.
