The growth in residents
may soon lead to more
Asian-owned businesses.
In Grand Prairie, for ex~
,ample, a cluster of small
. retail businesses has
popped up at a shopping
center at 303 and Great
Southwest Parkway. The
center, anchored by the
Hong Kong Market, which
recently moved from Ax -'
lington, includes a music
store, restaurants, and
mortgage and .i..;:ntal offic
es. Catfish, blue eel, tila
pia, lobster and blue crab
swim the live seafood tanks
at the market.
Cities such as Keller ha
ven't seen .such· Asian
business growth yet, but
they will soon, Ha said.
"And the business
might not serve Asians
primarilyl' said Ha, who
predicts continued big in
creases in Asian popula
tion growth in cities such
as Keller and Mansfield,
and the Alliance Airport
corridor. .
Ethnic entrepreneurial
communities that surface
in suburban cities "would
be another magnet" that
would draw more Asian re
locations, Rincon said.
Tarrant County's
growth in Asian numbers
has already heightened
their political influence,
with Vietnamese leaders
notably helping secure An
dy Nguyen's surpdse vic
tory in the race for Tarrant
County , com:rrusSloner.
Le'aders used phone banks,'
neighborhood walks, mail
ers, a seminar and appear
lnces at churches and
temples in the eastern Tar
rant district to get out the
vote for Nguyen.
Vietnamese leaders are
now trying to help Betsy
Price get elected as Fort
Worth mayor, Ha said.
Price's campaign mailed
out a late flier to the Viet
namese community during
the general election, and
it's preparing to run target
ed radio spots during
Price's'runoff against Jim
Lane next month.
"We cali, we have email,
we have phones, we have a
lot of stuffl' Ha said.
