Lighthouse Village update: Foodland to occupy 18,000 sq ft; FLAP open house announced with short notice

Chip Doyle reported on the Lighthouse Village development and said road improvements to Kīlauea Road and Namahana Parkway may be complete by the end of 2017. He said there are three confirmed tenants — Foodland, Verde’s restaurant and the Wyland art gallery — and that Foodland will occupy the entire building (about 18,000 square feet); tenant improvements may begin in early 2018.

The minutes also record an FLAP (Federal Lands Access Program) agenda item announcing an open house on bicycle and pedestrian access to the entrance of Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge; the announcement was made with less than 24 hours' notice by hanging leaflets on the neighborhood center’s locked door. Minutes do not record community response beyond noting the short notice.
