The National City Chamber of Commerce is working with community partners to activate Morgan Square in National City, CA as part of the City's new A.R.O.W.  Program. The newly adopted city program allows nonprofit organizations to adopt public spaces. Our goal is to activate Morgan Square Plaza in National City's Downtown to stimulate the local economy, support the development of arts and culture, and embrace community building. Our vision is to bring together families, businesses, and the community at large to enjoy San Diego's rich diversity through art, music, crafts, culture, and goods.
