Little Saigon 2030 Action Plan
Completed in August 2022, the Little Saigon 2030 Action Plan sets forth a Vision and supporting Goals and Actions for the neighborhood over the next decade. It provides a road map to guide the community as well as public and private partners as they work together to achieve the Vision. This Action Plan was developed over the course of a year by a Leadership Committee and Little Saigon community members.
