Chinatown Whitepaper Initiative Now Available Online

The Chinese Chamber is proud to announce that the Chinatown Whitepaper Initiative is now complete and available online.

This comprehensive report reflects a collaborative effort to better understand the current conditions, challenges, and opportunities within Honolulu’s Chinatown, while providing meaningful recommendations to support its revitalization and long-term sustainability.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) student team Emma Martin, Stavros Pongas, Adam Rockwell for their dedication, research, and hard work in bringing this project to completion. We also thank the many community stakeholders and participating merchants who generously shared their time, insights, and experiences—your contributions were essential to this effort.

This initiative represents an important step forward in strengthening Chinatown as a vibrant cultural and economic district. We invite the public to review the report and join us in supporting the future of Chinatown.
