Waiākea Peninsula Revival Law Signed | Honolulu News

Governor Green just signed SB 2001, a landmark $14 million investment to revive Hilo’s historic Waiākea Peninsula—home to Banyan Drive, the city’s cultural heart. The Hawaiʻi Community Development Authority will lead renovations of neglected landmarks like the Country Club Apartments, sparking local pride, boosting businesses, and creating lasting jobs. What sets this apart? A unique clause ensures a direct descendant of the peninsula’s heritage will have a voice in decisions, selected by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. It’s not just restoration—it’s a bold step toward honoring the past while building a vibrant, resilient future for Hilo.
