AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Hawai‘i Housing & Taxes: Honolulu’s City Council passed a Homebuyers’ Loan Assistance Revolving Fund to help first-time buyers with down payments and closing costs, targeting the “gap” households that can’t tap other programs. DHHL Homebuilding: DHHL awarded 200 residential lots to Native Hawaiian beneficiaries in Hilo for the Pana‘ewa Homestead, with 200 more planned for August. Statewide Cost Pressure: Gov. Josh Green signed a “millionaire tax” change that raises Hawaii’s top income tax rate to 13% starting in 2027 for the highest earners. Safety & Accountability: New laws signed by Green expand human-trafficking prevention training for the lodging industry and extend a domestic-violence pilot program. Disaster Recovery: Hawai‘i County launched a Kona Low Business Recovery Grant Program offering up to $10,000 per business, with an Aug. 31 deadline. Environment & Health: A report says the EPA fired an official who pushed for microplastics monitoring tied to a fish-farm permit, highlighting tensions between health goals and regulatory burden. Climate Resilience: After Kona lows, Kuleana Coral says it reattached 400 corals and is now preparing for the next El Niño threat.
