Hawaii County
Kaʻū CDP Action Committee
The Kaʻū Community Development Plan Action Committee implements and monitors the Kaʻū District Community Development Plan, guiding land use, infrastructure, and community goals for the southernmost district of Hawaii Island.
What This Committee Does
The Kaʻū Community Development Plan (CDP) Action Committee guides the implementation of the Kaʻū District's adopted community development plan, tracking progress on action items and recommending priorities to county departments and the council. The committee is composed of Kaʻū community members appointed to represent the district's diverse interests, including agriculture, ranching, energy, and rural community character. It reviews development proposals and county initiatives to ensure alignment with the Kaʻū CDP's vision.
Why You Should Care
Kaʻū residents have the rare opportunity to shape the future of their district through this committee — a body that holds county agencies accountable to the community's own adopted plan. Attending meetings and participating in action item tracking is how residents ensure the Kaʻū CDP is implemented rather than shelved.
