Bill > HCR77

This concurrent resolution requests the Agribusiness Development Corporation (ADC) to designate Kunia, Leilehua Plateau, and Poamoho as the Central Oahu Agricultural Corridor, acknowledging Hawaii's historical pineapple farming regions and the state's goal to double local food production by 2030. The resolution calls on the Department of Transportation to implement specific traffic safety measures in the corridor, including setting a 35-mile-per-hour speed limit and creating a "No Passing" zone. Additionally, the ADC is asked to develop a prioritized list of statewide agricultural infrastructure improvement projects, considering factors such as potential agricultural production increases, project costs, county and state land use plans, and other relevant considerations. The ADC is requested to submit a report with its findings and recommendations, including potential legislation, to the Legislature before the 2026 Regular Session, reflecting the state's efforts to enhance agricultural productivity and infrastructure in response to Hawaii's high food import dependency.
