The 2nd Chinatown Task Force Meetings will focus on prioritizing the most achievable and community supported actions developed by the task force members at the first meeting. The task forces will also begin developing immediate “next steps” and assign members tasks to carry out to begin achieving our goals for Chinatown. To aid them in their discussions, all task force meetings will be provided with a facilitator and translator as well technical staff assistance from the Office of Planning and Mayor’s Office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs.

To officially sign up with a task force group and receive updates, call Dory Peters (202) 727-3120 or write to dory.peters@dc.gov
