Kaua'i County Council Update for April 23rd 2025 | Helping Farmer's Markets Thrive
Kauaʻi County Council Recap: Farmers Markets, Shipping Woes, and the Fight for Local Identity
This week on the Kauaʻi County Council Recap, Olivia brings the heat with a community-powered breakdown of the April 23rd meeting. The spotlight? Bill 2951 — a lifeline for local farmers markets after the Princeville shutdown. We hear heartfelt testimony from Noni growers, gourmet nut sellers, young hat-hustlers, and artists who’ve returned home to find opportunity in open-air markets.
And that’s not all — the Council also takes a stand against Young Brothers’ proposed shipping rate hike, fighting to keep essentials affordable for families already stretched thin.
🎧 Local voices. Real issues. A whole lotta aloha.
