| 47 | | - | SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the State has a fiduciary duty to manage state lands in the best interests of the public by enhancing state revenues and promoting social, environmental, and economic well-being of Hawaii's people. East Hawaii, including the notable Banyan drive area, remains as the center of tourism for the island of Hawaii, and many improvements to infrastructure and key resources are necessary to revitalize the region as an economic hub. While the Banyan drive area includes several hotels, condominiums, restaurants, and retail buildings that comprise the economic district, some establishments have faced recent financial distress and closures, leading to the decline in economic activities and opportunities in that economic hub. The legislature further finds that the deterioration and decline of key areas for economic growth and tourism impacts the economic, social, and community opportunities of the entire State. The rejuvenation of public lands located on the Waiakea peninsula on the island of Hawaii is in the best interest of the general public and constitutes a valid public purpose. Therefore, the purpose of this Act is to establish the Waiakea peninsula on the island of Hawaii as a redevelopment district and establish: (1) Policies for the management of lands in the redevelopment district; (2) A plan for the district, including district-wide improvements, that is coordinated with state and county land use and planning policies; and (3) Asset and property management concepts that will optimize income from the properties and evolve in response to changing principles of property administration.
