Community Outreach Coordinator
Hawai`i Capital National Heritage Area
In 2003, a diverse group of community members joined together to establish The Hawai`i Capital Cultural District, creating a partnership of arts and cultural institutions in the downtown, Nu`uanu, and Kalihi areas, arts and culture-related associations, state agencies, and businesses with an interest in working together to nurture and celebrate the legacy of Honolulu’s historic core. The organization was re-named the Hawai`i Capital Cultural Coalition in 2008.
Our History
Our Feasibility StudyThe group commissioned a study of the area.
The “National Heritage Area Sustainability / Feasibility Study” was completed in December 2008. The study's chief author was Dr. William Chapman, Director of the Historic Preservation Program in the American Studies Department of the University of Hawai`i, Mānoa. Dr. Chapman is an expert in historic preservation and has no relationship with the coalition other than the authoring of this study.
