Recognizing the Dominican community's presence and contributions to Washington Heights and Inwood.

House Resolution 717 proposes the creation of a Dominican cultural heritage district within the Washington Heights and Inwood neighborhoods of New York City. This designation would involve the National Park Service in efforts to officially recognize and preserve the historical contributions of the Dominican-American community to the region and the nation. If implemented, the resolution would support the preservation of local historic buildings and celebrate the cultural legacy of Dominican-American small business owners, artists, and community leaders.
