Re: La'ilani Apartments
Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i Island
Honorable Governor Ige:
I strongly support your efforts to provide 22,000 affordable housing units for the citizens of the State
of Hawai'i over the next ten(10) years. We will continue to do our part in helping to achieve this goal
for the County of Hawai'i.
It has come to my attention that the Hawai'i Finance and Development Corporation is planning to sell
six (6) state-owned affordable housing projects which includes the La'ilani Apartments in Kailua-
Kona. I am very much interested in sitting down with you to discuss the possibility of transferring the
ownership and control of La'ilani to our County. I firmly believe that we could effectively manage the
project and make it an integral piece of our overall affordable housing plan.
I look forward to you contacting me to discuss this issue.
Thank you very much.
Ve Trul .urs,
HARRY KI
Mayor, County of Hawai'i
