Workforce & Industrial Development

Kapolei and Honokai Hale, located on the western side of Oahu, have rapidly emerged as key industrial and commercial centers for Hawaii. Known as Oahu’s “Second City,” Kapolei offers strategic access to major highways (H-1 and Farrington), the Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor, and proximity to Honolulu International Airport, making it a vital logistics and distribution hub for the state.

Recent years have seen significant investment in industrial parks such as the Kapolei Business Park and James Campbell Industrial Park, which are attracting tenants in warehousing, construction, energy, and food distribution. With limited available land elsewhere on Oahu, these parks are now among the most desirable for companies seeking new or expanded facilities.

Hawaii’s workforce development programs, including those led by the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and the University of Hawaii Community Colleges, provide training in advanced manufacturing, skilled trades, and logistics. Local initiatives—such as the Kapolei Jobs Initiative—connect residents with employers and help upskill workers for industrial roles.

Incentives for business investment include Hawaii’s Enterprise Zones Partnership Program, which offers tax credits and exemptions for qualifying companies. The City and County of Honolulu also provide permitting assistance and infrastructure support for industrial projects in the Kapolei area.
