	PCDC and Chinatown think big! We do not want to merely survive but to thrive. PCDC is working on our biggest project ever, the Eastern Tower Community Center (ETCC), a mixed-use center of housing, service, commerce and recreation to be built at 10th and Vine Streets.		PCDC wants to continue to develop and encourage the creation of affordable housing in Chinatown, particularly in Chinatown North, the area north of Vine Street.

	For years, the people of Chinatown have dreamed of a place where children can play, where our elders can gather and where the community can focus. This dream is about to become a reality. We have broken ground on ETCC. We are ready to go!

	~~But we have dreams and plans even beyond this big project.~~ PCDC wants to continue to develop and encourage the creation of affordable housing in Chinatown, particularly in Chinatown North, the area north of Vine Street.

	Chinatown intends to be a residential and business-friendly neighborhood for a long time. We intend to be a center for Asians in Philadelphia and a place where all of our residents and visitors can experience Chinese American culture and life~~.
