Sustainable Infrastructure

Learn from our natural resources, use the best available technologies, and build independent infrastructure.

Respect Our Natural Resources
Olowalu Town will build innovative infrastructure systems that are based upon sustainable technologies which minimize adverse impacts upon the natural environment. Efficient "green" technologies modeled after natural systems are planned at Olowalu Town with emphasis on conservation, cleaning, and recycling. Compact decentralized infrastructure systems are both economically and environmentally friendly. These systems create a smaller, less intensive "ecological footprint" than larger centralized systems.

Healthy Communities
Olowalu Town's residents will utilize walking for many daily needs thus reducing the number of daily car trips. Not only will residents reduce their reliance on imported gasoline and cut down on vehicle emissions, Olowalu Town will provide residents access to beach parks, playgrounds, hiking, and biking from their homes. Walkable communities also increase interaction with neighbors and lead to physically and socially healthy communities.

Independent Infrastructure
Olowalu Town will be supported by privately funded, independent infrastructure. The water, wastewater, and drainage systems will be sized appropriately to support the town's needs. In many cases, these infrastructure systems will be decentralized which allows for less impact on the environment. Olowalu Town has also reserved sites for community services including educational, police, and fire facilities. The relocation of Honoapi‘ilani Highway at Olowalu will be constructed in conjunction with the first phase of re-establishing the Olowalu Community.
