1 Hotel developers — and a new group, “Friends of Princeville” — want to build on ALL our protected open space — the Woods, the Lakes, and the Ocean Courses — and on the bluff at Puʻu Poʻa, where families report possible burial sites: land that carries anthrax risks, wildlife habitats, water reclamation, fire breaks, and recreation. Follow the people and the money below — tap any face to see who they are and how they’re connected.

Protect Princeville is neighbors standing up for Princeville and the North Shore.
