Upcoming East Kauai Community and Circulation Plan workshops

LIHUE – Planning Department invites community members to participate in a series of focused public workshops for the East Kauai Community and Circulation Plan. The workshops will continue to take place through September and are part of the department’s ongoing public engagement program.

The East Kauai Community and Circulation Plan is a long-range planning initiative that addresses land use, transportation, infrastructure, housing, and more. It also emphasizes community priorities such as climate hazard resilience and the protection of cultural and historic resources.

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

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

Upcoming workshop schedule:

• Workshop #3: Housing and Infrastructure – Tuesday, July 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Kalukalu Economic Resilience Center at 1624 Kuhio Highway in Kapaa.

• Workshop #4: Transportation – Tuesday, Aug. 12, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Kalukalu Economic Resilience Center at 1624 Kuhio Highway in Kapaa.

• Workshop #5: Parks, Recreation, and Economic Development – Tuesday, Sept. 16, from 5 to 7 p.m; location to be determined.
