Jon Lim, president of the Marysville Chinese Community, updated city council members on the Chinese Blueprint, a proposed renovation plan for Historic Chinatown scheduled for final review in December 2027. The project, funded by a $350,000 grant from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, incorporates feedback from nearly 5,000 community surveys and stakeholder meetings. Proposed elements include improvements to Plaza Park (Bok Kai Park), bilingual street signs, decorative perimeter gates, design criteria for building exteriors, and cultural events tied to Chinese heritage. City Manager Jim Schaad said the immediate focus is defining Chinatown's borders, design criteria, and funding sources before implementation can begin.
