No 22 Waipahu Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting May 2026

The City and County Neighborhood Commission Office held the No 22 Waipahu Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting on May 29, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions focused on a proposed Costco Business Center project at the former Don Quijote site, including a presentation by Costco representatives outlining the business center's purpose, size, and planned features such as a gas station. The project is in the early stages and not yet approved, with an anticipated approval and construction timeline extending into 2028-2029. Community concerns were raised about potential traffic impacts, the displacement of existing businesses like Zippy's restaurant, and local food access. The board also passed a motion to hold a candidate forum during the July 23, 2026 meeting to introduce local election candidates. Additionally, updates were provided on city infrastructure projects, including traffic safety improvements, bridge repairs, and budget amendments allocating $1 million for veterans aquatic center upgrades and $1 million for senior feeding programs. No contract awards or vendor selections were finalized during this meeting, but the Costco project represents a significant upcoming procurement and development opportunity.
