REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO DESIGNATE KUNIA, LEILEHUA PLATEAU, AND POAMOHO AS THE CENTRAL OAHU AGRICULTURAL CORRIDOR AND TO ESTABLISH A LIST PRIORITIZING POTENTIAL AGRICULTURAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT WOULD PROVIDE THE MOST VALUE TO THE STATE.

Senate Resolution 157 requests the Department of Agriculture to designate Kunia, Leilehua Plateau, and Poamoho as the Central Oahu Agricultural Corridor. It also asks the department to create a prioritized list of agricultural infrastructure projects (like roads and water systems) based on factors including cost, projected production increases, and land use plans. The resolution requires the department to submit a report with this list and recommendations to the Legislature by January 2026. This resolution directly affects farmers and landowners in the designated corridor areas by guiding future infrastructure investments to support Hawaii's goal of increasing local food production.
