Concerns expressed on public trust lands settlement
Advertiser story
and Star-Bulletin story
about yesterday's public meeting in Waimanalo regarding the proposed $200
million "ceded" lands settlement between the state and the Office of Hawaiian
Affairs, and the community concerns that were expressed there and in two
previous meetings. Both articles have the dates of upcoming meetings in other
communities (including an online meeting Feb. 22 for those who can't make it to
one in person), plus there's also this notice
in the
Advertiser:Office of Hawaiian Affairs Administrator Clyde Namu'o will present an overview of the recently negotiated Public Lands Trust Settlement at the Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce's luncheon meeting Feb. 21.
OHA's land management director, Jonathan Schurer, also will be able to answer questions about the lands being conveyed as part of the settlement, which requires legislative approval.
Registration and networking will begin at 11:30 a.m., with lunch and the program starting at noon. Cost for members is $20 and $25 for nonmembers.
