WHAT WE DO

Advocating for the preservation & revitalization of Japantown Street

Japantown Map
OUR VISION

Formed in April 2024, SLC NextGen JA emerged after Senate Bill 272 passed and news broke about the development of a Sports Entertainment, Culture, and Convention District. 

​

A group of friends who grew up attending temple and church events on Japantown Street gathered to discuss how we could help advocate and organize community efforts around Japantown.

​

We worked with community leaders to address impacts to Japantown and to ensure our Community's voice is heard in the revitalization of Downtown.
