Hawaii Economic Development Task Force

The Hawaii Economic Development Task Force examines strategies to diversify Hawaii's economy beyond tourism and the military, identifying opportunities in sectors such as technology, agriculture, health care, ocean science, and creative industries. It develops recommendations for tax incentives, workforce investments, regulatory reforms, and infrastructure priorities to support economic growth. The task force reports to the Governor and legislature.

Hawaii's heavy dependence on tourism makes the state economically vulnerable, and this task force's work shapes the policies that could create more diverse and stable jobs for Hawaii residents. Business owners, workers, and community members can engage through public input sessions.
