A team of faculty from the University of Hawaiʻi Community Design Center, School of Architecture, and the Department of Urban and Regional Planning were commissioned by DOBOR to create a concept/vision plan for the AWSBH as a resilient coastal public space and to generate a conceptual cost estimate for the vision plan. The purpose of the report was to offer insight for future requests for proposals for the harbor, but it should be noted that the project deliverables did not include feasibility assessments.

Drawing on the findings from community engagement facilitated by DTL in 2017, DOBOR’s Strategic Plan completed in 2019, and a guided site visit with Senator Sharon Moriwaki and the AWSBH Working Group, the team prepared two concepts for the harbor that they shared with key stakeholders to gather feedback. The concepts are also informed by other relevant reports and data.

The project team prepared two concepts for the harbor for stakeholder feedback. The concepts were informed by several relevant reports and information sessions including a site visit with Senator Sharon Moriwaki and the AWSBH Working Group, a community engagement effort facilitated by DTL in 2017, and by DOBOR’s 2019 Strategic Plan.
