PHOENIX — Down the corridor of 19th Avenue and Camelback Road, many will find quite a few small businesses owned by people from different backgrounds and cultures. Soon, that area will be designated as the International District.
“Not just Asian. African, Middle Eastern, Asian languages also, the growth of immigrant communities, especially in this area is kind of the important piece and why it’s the International District,” said Ryan Winkle, the chair of the Arizona Asian Chamber of Commerce. “Usually when you think of the Asian District, people will think in Mesa or the east side. But now it's going to be in this area,” Loompe said. “It'll be more convenient for the downtown people and the Phoenix area.”
The hope is the International District will help bring in more economic development as the Asian District in Mesa did. Winkle said the Asian District saw about $4 million come into the area over a few years in Mesa.
