Urges the Honolulu City Council to apply for inclusion of Whitmore Village in the existing Enterprise Zone No. 2 (Mililani Tech Park and parts of Wahiawa).

Emphasizes that enterprise zones are designed to stimulate business and industrial growth through regulatory flexibility and tax incentives for neighborhood revitalization.

Identifies Whitmore Village as a central Oahu community with approximately 5,000 residents that would benefit from economic growth and diversification initiatives.

States that enterprise zone status would enable future legislation to direct economic development, including jobs, housing, emerging industries, and education to the leeward side of Oahu.

Directs certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu and the Chairperson of the Honolulu City Council.
