[MassHistPres] state cultural districts

[Aaron Marcavitch]

To me this sounds like a state heritage area idea. I like state level  
heritage areas, but they need coupled with state financial support.  
Plus there are several national heritage areas - so the goals and size  
need defined clearly.

Cool idea though.
