The Koa Ridge project, proposed by developer Castle & Cooke, would build a total of 5,000 homes, two elementary schools, a small hotel, a small hospital, parks and 500,000 sq ft of retail and office spaces on the 768 acres adjacent to Waipio and Mililani on the island of Oahu. However, prior to start the $2.2 billion development, the state of Hawaii’s Land Use Commission must give its approval. Opponents of the project hope to keep the land agricultural and are concerned about the increased traffic problems that the development would create. The Land Use Commission will continue to hear testimonals from both sides over the next few days.
