HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Nanakuli Village Center has jumped off the drawing board, going from blueprints to buildings.
"We have a variety of tenants here, some national tenants. We also have a couple of medical clinics. So it really is a village center that is community initiated," said Kali Watson, chairman of the Hawaiian Community Development Board.
A Hawaiian blessing Thursday marked a significant step for the the multi-purpose project that began as a vision in 2002. Now, structures dot the 13 acres of Hawaiian Homestead Land.
On the mauka side of the property, 48 affordable housing units are filled with low-income homestead families.
Still under construction, Kamehameha School's community learning center will offer vocational training, certifications and other services. It's slated to open next year.
