One of those projects will be in the Yuba County city of Marysville.
"This was, at one time, one of the largest Chinese communities in California, and it's disappearing," said Jon Lim, president of the Marysville Chinese Community.
"Sometimes, it feels like the Chinese history is kind of pushed aside, and we're kind of the forgotten area of town, so it's nice to see a little bit of a spotlight on it," said Joseph Ferrie, owner of the Silver Dollar Saloon in Marysville's Chinatown.
"My main thing I'd like to see is this park behind us that is absolutely underutilized right now — it's a beautiful spot right next to the Bok Kai temple," he said. "There could be lanterns on the road going through in place of some of the light posts we have here, adding a historical element to it so people know they're in Chinatown."
"I've already done meetings with landowners, the Chinese community, families that have been here for a while, what's left of us, just to get a general idea of what Chinatown would be," he said.
"They want to preserve that culture and the history, and the museum, they want to preserve that as well," said Vincenzo Corazza, Marysville's public works director. "They want Bok Kai to keep coming every year. That's very important. It's part of our history. Ugly or good, we need to preserve that and continue on."
The Marysville Chinese Community aims to have a plan finalized for the city council toward the end of 2026.
