Hawaii Capital National Heritage Area Nears Approval

Two ancient ahupua‘a, Kapalama and Honolulu, would form the Hawaii Capital National Heritage Area under a bill introduced by US Senator Daniel Inouye. While the new designation would not bring any changes to zoning, it would make the area eligible for federal funds. The heritage area could be approved in time for the 50th anniversary of Hawaii statehood on Aug. 21. Nationally, only 41 areas have been designated so far.
