A SHARED VISION for equitable development
“Chinatown was built 150 years ago, and we’ve developed this cultural resilience over the decades, forging the strength of our community against the challenges and the adversity which we have faced. Despite challenges to Chinatown, by working together we will make sure Chinatown is here, and our people are served and helped to overcome barriers to equitable access.” – John Chin, Executive Director
