The state of Hawaii has submitted an official bid to become the home of the Barack Obama Presidential Library. According to state officials, the proposed 8-acre site would be near Kaakako Waterfront Park and would include a presidential center and an educational academy. Competition is expected to be quite fierce as several other cities including Chicago and New York have submitted bids. The Barack Obama Foundation had stated previously that they would like to have the library in an international destination reflecting the president's values and priorities. The foundation will select a site in early 2015.
