Kauai County Council requests withdrawal of Koloa eviction notices
The Kauai County Council unanimously passed a resolution requesting that Grove Farm withdraw eviction notices to Koloa Camp tenants and explore alternatives.
Councilmembers voted 7-0 Wednesday to pass the resolution. Two weeks ago, the state Senate passed a similar resolution asking the landowner to put a hold on the notices.
In November, Grove Farm issued eviction notices to 13 Koloa Camp tenants, demanding they leave the property by March 8 to make way for Waihohonu, a proposed residential housing subdivision of up to 50 units. The landowner recently extended the notice for 30 days, giving the remaining tenants until Easter to vacate.
