Housing, infrastructure workshop will be tonight as part of series on East Kauaʻi plans

The community is invited to attend a public workshop on housing and infrastructure initiatives within the East Kauaʻi Community and Circulation Plan in Kapaʻa tonight.

As part of its public engagement program, the Kauaʻi County Planning Department is hosting three more public workshops for the East Kauaʻi Community and Circulation Plan, a long-range planning initiative addressing land use, transportation, infrastructure, housing, and more.

Each workshop will focus on a specific priority topic and will include interactive opportunities for community feedback. Dinner will be provided at each event, and for those unable to attend in person, workshop materials will also be available online.

“This planning process is about listening and learning together. We encourage all East Kauaʻi residents to be part of the conversation,” said Planning Director Kaʻāina Hull.

Tonight’s workshop on housing and infrastructure will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Kalukalu Economic Resilience Center, located at 1624 Kūhiō Highway in Kapaʻa. The same timing and location will apply to the second workshop covering transportation on Aug. 12.

The final workshop will cover parks, recreation, and economic development from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 16, with the location yet to be determined.

This workshop series builds upon previous community engagement efforts, including a public open house and survey conducted in summer 2024 and a multi-day design workshop held in October 2024.
