Kaka'ako Makai, Honolulu, HawaiiThe waterfront area of the Kaka'ako district consists of 227 acres between Ala Moana Beach Park and Aloha Tower. Historically, this area was used for light industrial and warehousing operations. Recent redevelopment efforts include the development of Kaka'ako Waterfront Park and the Children's Discovery Center. In the past, EPA assisted the State by providing $100,000 for Targeted Brownfields Assessments at other redevelopment sites. Currently, EPA is providing an additional $100,000 to conduct more detailed environmental testing at one of the redevelopment sites. This will help the State determine the extent of contamination at the property and develop an appropriate cleanup plan. The State plans to transform the area into a world-class center of activities which will include recreational and cultural activities, shopping, waterfront restaurants, and entertainment.
