In 2019, in partnership with Kikiaola Land Company and the Faye family, the County of Kauai purchased the 417-acre parcel between Kekaha and Waimea, mauka (toward the mountains) of Kaumualii Highway, referred to as Waimea 400.
“The Fayes have been long-time stewards of this important area, and we at the County of Kauai are humbled to take responsibility for this land. We look forward to engaging with the community about the future,” stated Derek Kawakami, Mayor, County of Kauai.
In January 2022, the County published the Waimea 400 Master Plan, laying out the conceptual design and preferred uses of the parcel. The master plan is the culmination of the knowledge, ideas, and input from community residents, agencies, and resource partners. Based on previous community feedback, affordable housing will comprise roughly 60 acres of the site, just west of Waimea Sunset subdivision.
