Coming Soon | A Westside Ledger Investigative Series
Who controls the land, who benefits from its use, and what does the future hold for West Kauaʻi?
Westside Ledger is examining the land-use agreements involving the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), NASA’s Kōkeʻe Park Geophysical Observatory (KPGO), and state-owned lands on Kauaʻi’s West Side.
Through public records, agency responses and community perspectives, this ongoing reporting series will explore the history of these agreements, their environmental and cultural implications, and what they mean for the communities connected to these lands.
Our reporting is underway. Check back soon as this series develops.
