The owner of an unused warehouse in Lawai has been given the 'Ok' by Kauai's planning commission to redevelop the space into a retail center. The proposed plan includes a 3,487-square-foot fitness business, 1,792-square-foot art studio, 1,141-square-foot restaurant, 590-square-foot coffee shop, 580-square-foot retail clothing store, and 46 parking stalls. Many residents are happy that the space will be used but some are concerned that traffic may become congested.
