Kakaako Community Development District
From dKosopedia
The 1976 Hawaii State Legislature created the Hawaii Community Development Authority, HCDA, to plan for and to revitalize urban areas in the State which lawmakers find to be in need of timely redevelopment. These areas, designated as “Community Development Districts”, were determined to be underused and deteriorating, but with the potential, once redeveloped, to address the needs of Hawaii’s people and to provide economic opportunities for the State.
In creating the HCDA, the Legislature also designated the Kaka‘ako area of Honolulu as the Authority’s first Community Development District. Lawmakers found that Kaka’ako was significantly underdeveloped and underutilized relative to its central location in urban Honolulu. The Legislature foresaw that the redevelopment of Kaka’ako would offer tremendous opportunities to address the need for more housing, parks, and open areas, as well as new commercial and industrial space near downtown Honolulu.
