Grove Farm Evicting Residents of Koloa Camp (Japanese Camp "C") for New Development
On November 08, 2011, Grove farm blindsided residents of Koloa Camp with an eviction notice... They were given 120 days to vacate their neighborhood to make way for an affordable housing project. The community has joined together as an organized unit to take action. We are not against affordable housing projects, but there are many reasons why Koloa Camp is a poor choice for this development location. We have come together to bring awareness to the potential loss of this island treasure of historical significance. We ask for your support to save the last of the plantation era camps.
The proposed development would destroy the last of the plantation era houses of Koloa and replace them with 50 modular affordable homes from China.
