| Overview
|
| The University Corporation at Monterey Bay, associated with California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to transform a building that has not been used in 30 years into a vibrant cultural showcase. The cornerstone of the project is the renovation of the Republic Café into the Asian Cultural Center and Museum. CSUMB will launch the first economic-based building in Chinatown in 50 years by stabilizing and remodeling the first floor of the Republic Café to usable space that meets environment, building, and permit requirements; create an Asian Cultural Center and identify and gather (virtual and tangible) cultural artifacts that tell the story of the impact of immigrants on the development of the Salinas Valley; and provide employment opportunities for unemployed persons in construction and museum operation. A minimum of 20 percent of the work force in the construction and operation will be low- or very-low-income (Section 3) individuals.
