WCNKC release:

The sidewalks and public spaces of 6^th Street don’t reflect the flourishing activity or Korean character of this vibrant commercial center. WCKNC will be engaging community stake holders in a series of workshops to decide how to improve 6^th Street in a way that supports this vitality in a uniquely Korean way. In the coming year, WCKNC will then build the first project chosen by the community to kickoff this long-term improvement effort.
