KIA General Membership Meeting
There were almost fifty KIA members who enjoyed a delicious lunch provided by KIA member Dave and Buster’s, who also gave KIA a discount. Three presentations were introduced by KIA President Michael Libertini and video-taped by KIA Board member Peterson Rosario (see the entire meeting at www.kia-hawaii.org/n022019.html).
An update from The Howard Hughes Corporation was presented by Todd Apo, with a powerpoint that showed past, present and future developments in Kakaako. The “live, work and play” theme is well and alive in Kakaako thanks to them.
HART’s CEO Andrew Robbins gave timely updates on the work being done in Kakaako currently on Queen Street and planned for the future. The presentation visually showed how construction on the rail will be done through 2024. The stations at Halekauwila/South and Halekauwila/Ward streets were also shown. He said that communication with area businesses and residents has and will continue to be open and informative.
Pictures of the current and future projects of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation in Kakaako were shared by Craig Hirai, with the newest being built between KIA members Karen’s Kitchen and Sunshine Scuba. See the full presentation on www.kia-hawaii.org/n022019.html by mid-February.
