CHINATOWN WORKING GROUP TOWN HALL— TONIGHT AT 7PM!
The Chinatown Working Group is “a democratic and open community-based planning initiative on the future of Chinatown. [Their] goal is to support the community’s residents, workers, businesses and visitors.” That said, there is a lot to figure out including exactly who these ‘stakeholders’ are. The CWG has yet to decide the boundaries of Chinatown so the topics discussed at tonight’s Town Hall may affect neighborhoods well beyond the outdated ideas of old Chinatown.
The neighborhood has many challenges to face including: affordability, culture & historic preservation, economic development, education & schools, immigrant affairs & social services, parks, traffic & transportation, and zoning.
Downtown activist Rob Hollander said it best: “The question for the Working Group is how can Chinatown both preserve itself and thrive.”
