There is still time to comment on the Līhuʻe Airport Optimization Plan following a series of public meetings last month.
In March, the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation hosted meetings both in person and online to provide an overview of the purpose and goals of the optimization plan, which focuses on improving existing airport facilities to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
The project also aims to improve passenger experience while remaining responsive to community values and concerns. Līhuʻe Airport is the only commercial service airport on Kauaʻi and plays a vital role in supporting residents, visitors, cargo, and emergency services.
Meeting materials, a recording of the presentation, and a comment form are now available on the Līhuʻe Airport Optimization Plan website.
The comment period will remain open on the website through Friday, April 17, allowing community members to review the information and share input at their convenience. Public input received during the meetings and through the project website will help inform the development of the plan.
