About The Project
Background
On August 12, 1987, the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA), State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), with concurrence by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) and the Hawai’i Department of Transportation (HDOT) executed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to mitigate any adverse impact resulting from the construction of the Interstate H-3 Highway.
On August 10, 1999, the H-3 Cooperative Agreement was signed between HDOT and OHA to undertake a project that would preserve and interpret the cultural resources located in North Hālawa Valley and the Luluku Terraces in Kaneohe. Funds amounting to $11 million were set aside for the project.
Our Approach
We understand the importance of seeking maximum community involvement for this project, from data gathering through implementation.
HLID serves as a neutral liaison between FHWA, HDOT, OHA and the community. Although these entities can have different perspectives, HLID strives to bridge these differences and deliver a meaningful project.
Project Phasing
Phase 1:
Planning Phase
- Plan to Plan document, approved November 2003
- Strategic Plan document, approved April 2008
- Interpretive Development Plan document, pending final approval
Phase 2:
Design & Development Phase
- Upon completion of Phase 1
Phase 3:
Implementation Phase
- Upon completion of Phase 2
As a new collaborative project type for all entities, Phase 1 has had its challenges and opportunities. During this time, the most crucial foundation that required patience was establishing trust. The HLID project is now at an exciting time where the ideas and concepts can be realized and more importantly a part of a living Hawaiian culture.
