AUGUST 3, 2022 3
Aloha e friends, After waiting 12 long years, on June 22, Ho‘omaka Market- place finally broke ground! Ho‘omaka means “to be- gin, to set forth on a new endeavor.” It can also refer to a keiki’s first tooth or a fresh blade of grass. It is with this freshness and ex- citement that the market- place begins, offering sim- ple convenience to make our lives on the Westside a little easier to navigate.
foot retail development will be located in the heart of the thriving hub of Kapo- lei. It will also be home to a 1,200-square-foot facility for the Kapolei Commu- nity Development Corpo- ration, which will be an important gathering place and resource for the neigh- borhood. KCDC is a non- profit that started in 2008 to serve the Kapolei home- steads in the areas of com- munity, culture, education and partnerships.
State Sen. Mike Gabbard participated in the Ho‘omaka Marketplace groundbreaking ceremony. Pictured (from left) are William Aila, director of state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands; state Sen. Kurt Fevella; “Auntie” Shirley Swinney, Kapolei Community Development Corporation founder; state Rep. Sharon Har; Gov. David Ige; and Gabbard. PHOTO COURTESY THE OFFICE OF STATE SEN. MIKE GABBARD
also help alleviate traffic congestion in other parts of Kapolei. Revenues will sup- port Kapolei homesteads, in- cluding the Kapolei Heritage Center and other homestead programs that support ben- eficiaries. The complex is expected to be completed in 2023.
I was pleased to receive a letter from the governor informing me that he was re- leasing $135 million in fund- ing for Capitol Improvement Project funds that I requested to widen Farrington High-
way. The project will extend three miles from Kapolei Golf Course to Fort Weaver Road. The widening will add a center left-turn lane and will include new sidewalks, bike lanes, bridges, culverts and major utility relocations. Estimated construction is set to begin October 2023, with estimated completion in July 2025.
Contact state Sen. Mike Gabbard (D-20 — Kapolei, Makakilo, portions of ‘Ewa, Kalaeloa and Waipahu) at 808-586-6830 or sengab- bard@capitol. hawaii.gov.
