New London The city is taking stock of its history, arts scene and cultural assets with the formation of a cultural district that will act as a central hub for the coordination of events, exhibitions and promotions.
The City Council on Monday unanimously approved an ordinance that establishes the district and is likely to lead to the formation of a special commission to provide oversight.
The district will encompass the downtown’s historic district and include Howard, Bank and State streets. It would allow the district to showcase the waterfront and key attractions such as Hygienic Art, Custom House Maritime Museum and Garde Arts Center.
