Groups envisioning Lihue's future

Kauai Planning & Action Alliance, Inc. (KPAA) provides a forum for the community on issues that matter most to Kauai. The organization serves as a neutral convener and facilitator, bringing together and guiding action teams and committees to develop and implement solutions to Kauai’s priority issues.

Emphasizing Collaboration. KPAA is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) membership organization, offering community groups, nonprofits, government agencies and businesses opportunities to work collaboratively. The organization’s work is guided by the community vision included in the Kauai General Plan 2000.

Presenting group ideas

Current Goals. Volunteers from diverse sectors work together on selected goals to help achieve the vision. Currently, KPAA goals focus on planning for Kauai’s sustainability, tools for managing growth, affordable housing, state park improvements, and using community indicators to help guide decision making. A new focus to be added soon will focus on traffic mitigation and transportation alternatives.  KPAA also offers workshops and activities for Kauai nonprofits designed to build capacity in those organizations.
