Barbers Point Naval Air Station Redevelopment Commission
Ka Hana a Kēia Kōmikina
The Barbers Point Naval Air Station Redevelopment Commission oversaw the planning and reuse of the former naval air station on O'ahu's Leeward coast after its closure, guiding the conversion of military land into the Kalaeloa community with residential, commercial, industrial, and airport uses. It made decisions on land disposition, infrastructure investment, and how to integrate the new development with surrounding communities. The commission's work shaped what is now the Kalaeloa District.

The Kalaeloa area's current mix of housing, the Kalaeloa Airport, and commercial development reflects decisions made by this commission. Residents of the Ewa and Leeward areas continue to be affected by the long-term redevelopment planning the commission established.
