Lawmakers: HCDA Should Postpone 690 Pohukaina Decision-Making

By /
Five area lawmakers have asked the Hawaii Community Development Authority to put off for a month decision-making on the 690 Pohukaina project.

Sens. Brickwood Galuteria and Suzanne Chun Oakland, Reps. Scott Saiki and Tom Brower and City Councilwoman Carol Fukunaga say HCDA should decide in January 2013 “to assure broader public review/comment than is likely in likely in the midst of the holiday season.”

HCDA has scheduled a public hearing Thursday morning (Dec. 13 — that’s today) to review proposals.

The proposed 690 Pohukaina calls for 204 affordable rental housing units, 300 affordable housing units and 500 market housing units in Kakaako.
