This panel will explore the evolving landscape of land-secured financing and tax increment financing (TIF) as applied to large-scale redevelopment projects across the islands. Panelists will provide a deep dive into Community Facilities Districts and Tax Increment Districts, examining how these mechanisms can be structured to fund early-stage infrastructure and catalyze private investment. Drawing on real-world case studies from Hawaiʻi and the mainland, experts will
discuss how special taxes, leasehold-secured bonds, and project-specific tax revenues can be aligned with phased development timelines. The panel will engage attendees in an interactive session to explore scenarios to leverage land-secured and TIF strategies in high-priority growth areas in Hawaiʻi, such as the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District, the Iwilei-Kapalama TOD Corridor, the Anne Keohokalole Highway Corridor, the Līhuʻe Town Core, and The Kaʻahumanu Community
Corridor.
