Urges the University of Hawaii to designate the Magoon Research and Teaching Facility site for use by the University of Hawaii at Manoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources

The facility has been used by the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources for over forty years for agricultural research, education, and outreach

University administration has identified the Magoon facility as a possible site for faculty housing, despite being presented with alternative solutions for faculty housing needs

Committees find that using the facility for faculty housing could negatively impact the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, the surrounding community, and the State

Received testimony in support from the University of Hawaii, Department of Agriculture, various agricultural and horticultural industry organizations, and 106 individuals; two individuals testified in opposition
