Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 6 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to authorize the designation of an industrial park by the Legislature.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources testified in support of the measure.

Your Committee finds that an industrial park located at Kaholaloa, Sand Island, Honolulu, Oahu will generate additional revenue and create new jobs. Moreover, this area has strong industrial development potential due to its proximity to the airport, Honolulu Harbor, and major freeways which is advantageous for distributors and manufacturers conducting business in this area. The Department of Land and Natural Resources has determined that this parcel of land is suitable for designation as an industrial park, but the law requires the approval of the Legislature for this type of designation. This concurrent resolution will constitute the necessary legislative approval.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 6 and recommends its adoption.
