The board of the Hawaii Community Development Authority has set a public hearing this Wednesday (Oct. 2) regarding the permit application by Downtown Capitol LLC on proposed development in the vicinity of the former Honolulu Advertiser building.

The proposal has encountered some community opposition, in part from groups that object to the scope of the project.
