Lihue Boys & Girls Club clubhouse
We were notified in December 2017 that the Boys and Girls Club was in the process of securing fundraising to improve the abandoned building across Kauai War Memorial Convention Hall. What is the status of these efforts?
In an effort that crossed over administrations, an agreement has been put into place that gives control of an abandoned office near the Kauai War Memorial Convention Hall to the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii. With this agreement, the organization has been able to secure support to renovate the structure.
Please provide an update on the Hokua Place subdivision, including when construction will begin for the 500 homes.
The developer of Hokua Place is currently in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process required prior to requesting their State Land Use District be reclassified to Urban. If and when the State Land Use Commission approves the urban districting, the developer then must go to council for a zoning amendment to re-zone the property from the Agriculture Zoning District to some other form of an urban district. If the council grants the zoning amendment, only after that can the developer begin the process of requesting zoning permits for Hokua Place.
