Long-term planning committee drafts Kilauea Vision Statement, readies input for Kauai General Plan update

Ginny Shinn told the KNA that the Long Term Planning, Transportation and Land Use committee met in May and developed a draft Kilauea Vision Statement and recommendations intended for the Kauai General Plan update. Topics the committee highlighted included infrastructure priorities, affordable housing and traffic-flow planning.

Shinn said the committee will continue to refine priorities and suggested the board engage more deeply with landowners and county planners as specific proposals — like the KCFCU branch — emerge. The committee’s draft statements are intended to guide future KNA input to the county plan rather than establish regulatory requirements.

No vote was taken; the report functioned as a progress update and a call for further community discussion and prioritization.
