Save the Phoenix Chinese Cultural Center
The new owner of the Phoenix Chinese Cultural Center plans to strip away all
elements of Chinese culture. This would destroy an important piece of
Arizona's history. We urge you to preserve our Chinese cultural heritage,
Phoenix's first Chinatown.
The Phoenix Chinese Cultural Center, also known as the COFCO center, was
built by the first owner with help from community volunteers and donations
from local Chinese immigrants with support from the City of Phoenix
government. Special materials and supplies were brought from China, and
skilled workers from China spent years making this one of the most beautiful
Chinese Cultural Centers in North America. The names of donors are engraved
in the Wall of Honor, and it has become a Phoenix landmark, and part of
Arizona's history.
For the last two decades, the Center has played an important role in the
Valley of the Sun. Chinese New Year performances and celebrations have
educated both tourists and locals about Chinese culture, and the garden and
its artifacts are an important example of Chinese workmanship and cultural
significance.
While the new owner has recognized the historical importance of the Center,
and has offered the garden artifacts, we want to save the entire Chinese
Cultural Center. It would be impossible to fully disassemble and restore the
center's heritage at another location.
Conservation of culture and history encourages building strong relationships
with the local community to address its needs; preserving the Phoenix
Chinese Cultural Center will benefit business and long-term development of
the area, and maintain an important piece of Arizona's history.
