The State of Hawaii is asking for information regarding delayed shovel-ready projects. Please see the following message from Office of the Govenor:
In the interest of doing more to keep shovel-ready projects moving, seeking your help here compiling a list of active projects currently stuck in the queue at the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD). This could also include infrastructure projects subject to SHPD review that enable housing or economic development. The goal is to give Governor a clearer picture of the sheer amount and economic value of projects currently delayed by SHPD review due to the agency’s perennial backlog, but I need your help compiling the data.
If you are involved with any shovel-ready projects currently delayed by SHPD review, please send to
- Name of project
- Project location
- Date submitted to SHPD
- SHPD log number, if applicable
- Current review status, based on most recent communication from SHPD
- Looming deadlines requiring SHPD sign off, if applicable
- Estimated project start construction date
- Estimated project value
- Amount of State or Federal subsidies at risk, if applicable (i.e. LIHTC, RHRF, CDBG, HOME Funds etc)
- Other Impacts (i.e. # of housing units created, estimated local economic impact/jobs created, if you have that data)
