The Asian Pacific
Cultural Center
(APCC) will be
the first Pan-
Asian center in
the nation to
encompass over
40 different Asian
and Asian Pacific
communities, which
are represented
throughout the
State of Minnesota.
APCC will unify
all Minnesota
communities, and
have a positive
impact on the
people of our State.
APCC will open its
facility in 2010 as a
destination place
for Minnesotans from every part of the State,
and will be an economic asset for the community.
Selected after an extensive search to identify a home
for APCC, the former Hamm’s Brewery possesses
all the elements to create a Pan-Asian facility, and
will be easily accessible to all Minnesotans. In
addition, APCC has the opportunity to preserve a
site with historical significance and deep roots in
Minnesota’s culture.
APCC will strengthen the community; providing
an important resource to corporations,
educational institutions, families with adopted
children, individuals, and other community
organizations.
