URGING APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES TO REDEVELOP THE PALI LANES PROPERTY TO PRESERVE ITS HISTORIC MID-CENTURY ARCHITECTURE AND PROVIDE FOR MEANINGFUL RECREATIONAL, CULTURAL, AND COMMUNITY-SERVING USES THAT BENEFIT THE RESIDENTS OF KAILUA AND WINDWARD OAHU.

This Senate Resolution urges government agencies to redevelop the Pali Lanes property in Kailua, Oahu, to preserve its historic mid-century architecture and maintain it as a community space for recreation and cultural activities. The bill directly affects residents of Kailua and Windward Oahu by advocating for affordable public use of the site, which closed in 2021 after serving as a community hub for over sixty years. Key provisions request that if the property is not renovated for public benefit, the Department of Land and Natural Resources evaluate acquiring the land to ensure it remains available for community use. The resolution also asks that copies be sent to relevant officials and the property owner, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.
