On Wednesday, Dec. 14, a community forum will be held to discuss the Cambodian American Cultural Center (CACC) from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The forum will take place inside the Homeland Cultural Center at Douglas MacArthur Park, located at 1321 Anaheim St.
The City of Long Beach and sixth district Councilwoman Suely Saro, in partnership with City Fabrick, Lord Cultural Resources and United Cambodian Community will be hosting the CACC Community Forum. Members of the surrounding community are invited to attend the forum to join community discussions and receive ongoing updates about the future of the CACC.
The recommendation for a Cambodian American Cultural Center was originally brought to city council by Councilwoman Saro in September 2021.
This forum follows the Community Visioning and Feasibility Plan Kickoff event held this past September. During the kickoff event, around 400 community members participated in a survey to gather information of interest pertaining to the CACC.
At the CACC Community Forum, the results from the survey as well as cultural center updates will be presented, and attendees will give their input regarding the purpose, activities and location of the CACC through small group discussions. Additionally, dinner and Khmer interpretation will be provided at the event.
Additional information surrounding the CACC visioning process can be found on the CACC webpage.
