DHHL outlines Lihue acquisition plan for roughly 1,000 homesteads

Kioloa Bosman said DHHL’s largest recent Kauai acquisition is in Lihue, roughly 260–295 acres of former grove farmland, and that initial feasibility work identified capacity for about 1,000 single‑family homesteads and roughly 100 subsistence agricultural lots. "We are hoping to put 1000 single family homesteads in this area along with about a 100 subsistence ag lots," Bosman said.

Bosman said project lease awards for the Lihue lands are scheduled for Sept. 12, 2026, and reiterated that "the development of this project is not fully funded. Funding is necessary for DHHL to proceed." He presented the Lihue site as DHHL’s largest proposed homesteading area to date but did not provide a capital cost estimate or identified funding sources during the update.
