Published on April 24, 2025

LĪHU‘E —The County of Kaua‘i Planning Department invites community members to participate in a series of focused public workshops on the East Kaua‘i Community and Circulation Plan. The workshops will take place from May through September and are part of the department’s ongoing public engagement program.

The East Kaua‘i 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.

“Please join us for these deep-dive discussions,” said Planning Director Ka‘āina Hull. “This planning process is about listening and learning together. We encourage all East Kaua‘i residents to be part of the conversation.”

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 #1: Climate Hazards - Tuesday, May 13, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the Kalukalu Economic Resilience Center at 1624 Kūhiō Highway in Kapa‘a.
• Workshop #2: Natural, Cultural, and Historic Resources – Thursday, May 29, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Anahola Clubhouse at 3900 Kawelo Road in Anahola.
