Kapolei — Second (Hollywood) City?

By /
The Honolulu City Council is looking to prepare Kapolei, Oahu’s second city, for the bright lights of show business.

On Wednesday, the council will consider a series of bills that would allow for the development of a major film production studio.

These proposed changes would also allow for the development of a hotel to serve as housing for film crews.

Council Chairman Ernie Martin introduced the bills (numbered 62, 63, 64 and 65), which would include a change to the Ewa Development Plan.

Here’s the full agenda for Wednesday’s council meeting.
