Hawaii state lawmakers are due to hold an informational briefing next week on the status of a new body created to generate revenue from public lands.
The Senate and House water and land committees are due to hold a joint meeting on August 30th, 2011.
The Public Land Development Corporation was created to generate revenue that may be used to offset the regulatory functions of the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Governor Neil Abercrombie earlier this year signed legislation that set up the corporation as an arm of the Department of Land & Natural Resources (DLNR).
The corporation is expected to identify public lands that are suitable for redevelopment and determine the best revenue-generating programs for them.
It's also expected to enter into public-private agreements to appropriately redevelop lands.
