in this region would alleviate these challenges by revitalizing the
agricultural industry, creating employment opportunities, and improving food
self-sufficiency across the State; and

WHEREAS, the Agribusiness
Development Corporation is uniquely positioned to oversee the purchase,
management, and responsible development of agricultural lands in this region;
and

����
WHEREAS, the
Halaula Agricultural Parcel located in north Kohala offers significant
potential for agricultural development, including sustainable agricultural
practices, farming, livestock, and agroforestry; and

����
WHEREAS, the Agribusiness
Development Corporation purchasing the Halaula Agricultural Parcel will
stimulate economic growth, support community initiatives, and revitalize the
rural economy in north Kohala; now, therefore,

����
BE IT
RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirty-third Legislature of the State of Hawaii,
Regular Session of 2026, the House of Representatives concurring, that the

the fee simple interest in the Halaula Agricultural Parcel identified as tax
