Should big business be running the Kauai County Council?
The important position of County Council Chair includes setting the agendas for meetings.
Would you like to see Grove Farm at the helm of the Kauai County Council making the decisions on what issues will or will not come before the Council, setting the rules for how much engagement Grove Farm wants the Council to have with the public, and deciding what information gets shared with County Councilmembers?

Who We Are
Community Coalition Kaua’i (CCK) was formed in the Summer 2016 to specifically track the process of the new General Plan for Kaua’i. CCK was borne out of the common concern of many individuals from around the island that they were not being adequately heard through the County’s choreographed public input process.
The Vision
Imagine an island where basic needs like housing and access to a diversity of income generation opportunities are available for all. Imagine a self-sufficient island with a farm to table food economy. Imagine an island that represents a living model of our rich Hawaiian cultural heritage that honors both keiki and kupuna.
Testimony
Click below to read written and oral testimony and comment archives from the community on Kauai’s General Plan. Please join us in this coordinated community-wide effort to speak with one voice about the need to have a General Plan that first and foremost meets the needs of the residents of Kaua`i.
Resources
Learn more about making your voice count, guidelines for reviewing the General Plan, tips for providing public testimony, and how a bill becomes an ordinance. Take back the General Plan from the hands of developers, large land owners and the tourism industry and make it your own. This is YOUR General Plan.
Fix the Plan!
For Kauai’s Future, for our Keiki.
THE COUNTY OF KAUA’I NEW GENERAL PLAN DOES NOT REPRESENT THE URGENT NEEDS, FUTURE DESIRES, OR EXTENSIVE INPUT OF THE RESIDENTS OF KAUA’I.
We, the undersigned, urge the Kaua’i County Council to return the General Plan to the Planning Department to develop a General Plan that first and foremost reflects the urgent needs, interests and quality of life factors that the residents of Kaua’i require and deserve.
- The new General Plan proposes no framework and no serious actions to manage the growth that threatens our island.
- The new General Plan is inconsistent
a) in its portrayal of policies to guide growth
b) in the data on population projections and visitor use
c) in proposed new growth areas reflected in the designated land use maps.As a result, changes to land use zoning and major developments are proposed for communities that do not support these actions. Major development proposals should be determined through local community planning process. - The new General Plan contains no significant implementation plan and consequently is not binding, nor is there any accountability.
We do not need a General Plan that was written by and for developers and the tourism industry.
We do need a General Plan that will create balanced, sustainable growth, diversified job opportunities, and will protect Kaua’i’s environment, rural character and quality of life.
