(DRAFT 4)
WHEREAS, ENSERCH Development Corporation (EDC), a wholly
owned diversified energy company based in Dallas, Texas, is
proposing the revitalization of the former Hamakua Sugar Mill site
into a combined light industrial park and plantation heritage
center; and
WHEREAS, EDC and its affiliates have significant
worldwide experience in developing, designing, constructing,
financing, owning and operating electric generation and
thermal-energy supply facilities of all types and sizes; and
WHEREAS, the proposed electric power plant will not only
produce electricity but will also use waste heat and steam from
the project as thermal energy which can be used by other
industries in their manufacturing and processing; and
WHEREAS, EDC is working with the State to use the Hamakua
Ditch water for both its operations and for a full-scale
aquaculture facility which water fees will support a ditch
maintenance company thereby improving the reliability of supply of
the Hamakua Ditch water for other agricultural uses; and
WHEREAS, the proposed cogeneration project would employ
20-30 plant maintenance and operations personnel, 10-12 jobs in
the trucking industry for delivery of fuel and create additional
jobs from the cogeneration industries, industrial park users and
heritage center business; and
WHEREAS, EDC is proposing a plantation heritage center to
create a world class visitor destination making Honoka'a a "must
see" attraction along the proposed plantation heritage corridor.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF
