Policies and implementing actions in the GP Update

Economic Development Policy Approach

2000 General Plan Policies (Chapter 4) Most Recent Data: DBEDT, US Census Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Update (2016) Economic Snapshot of Kaua‘i (CoEcon 2015) GP Technical Studies Tourism Strategic Plan (2015) Agriculture Plan (2016)

Stakeholder, CAC, & Community Input

Baseline Inputs Absorb Lessons What’s Endured, What’s Changed What Worked, What Didn’t New Best Practices and Concepts Analysis Result

2000 General Plan Policy Approach:

Chapter 4 “Developing Jobs and Businesses” contains policies for Economic Development. It includes the following sections related to economic development:

• 4.1 – Diversifying the Economy
• 4.2 – Visitor Industry
• 4.3 – Agriculture
• 4.4 – High Technology
• 4.5 – Supporting Businesses and Jobs for Kaua‘i Residents
• 4.6 – Land Supply for Commercial & Industrial Uses

The chapter addresses Airports and Harbors as well.

11

How the 2000 General Plan Treated Economic Development

• Policies emphasized diversifying Kaua‘i’s economy to

increase economic resilience

• Diversification strategy seeks to encourage higher-

paying jobs that provide a living wage.

• Areas of greatest promise identified as agriculture,

aquaculture, and high technology.

• Called for concentrating commercial and industrial

development in major towns and job centers.

• Recognized that commercial and industrial lands were

adequate islandwide, but deficient in some districts.

12

Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

• Prepared by the State

and each County

• Updated every 5 years
• Last updated in 2010
• 2015 update underway
• Identifies industry

clusters and projects for Kaua‘i

• Anticipated for release

in spring 2016 2010 economic clusters for investment:

• Health and Wellness
• Food and Agriculture
• Culture and Arts
• Sports and Recreation
• Science and

Technology

• Sustainable

Technologies and Practices

13

What’s Endured & What’s Changed Since the 2000 GP

What’s Endured

• Tourism remains the primary

economic driver

• Agriculture is a major area of

economic promise

• Technology remains a promising

cluster

• Kaua‘i is still vulnerable to global and

regional fluctuations (disasters, recessions, energy prices) and new threats exist (climate change, cyberterrorism)

• Transportation to and from Kaua‘i

remains expensive

• Focus on revitalization of town cores

and compact development

• Commercial and industrial lands
• What’s New
• Macroeconomic events (9/11, Great

Recession)

• CEDS updated every 5 years (last in

2010); identifies clusters and priority projects

• Proliferation of shared economy &

incubators

• National and State level focus on

revitalizing manufacturing

• Convergence as strategy to

complement economic diversification

• Buy Local and Makers Movements
• Creative industries taking

prominence alongside tech

• Increased income inequality, rising

cost of living in relation to income

• Significant shifts to renewable

energy sources have been made

14

Goals of Analysis

Exam ine trends in existing and emerging industries in Kauai I dentify strategies to prom ote future grow th, aligning with key values:

Strengthen stability and jobs growth Promote living wages Sustain Kauai’s culture and natural resources Support small businesses

Rising Tide Economics

Methodology: NETS Data and Approach National Establishment Time-Series (NETS) data

– Provides information on every establishment in the region over 10 years (2002-2012)

Identified clusters

– Based on NAICS code classifications and review of individual companies

Rising Tide Economics

NETS Compared to Public Data

NETS PUBLI C DATA

Census of all establishments Based on Unemployment Insurance records Includes sole proprietors, farms, small firms Includes companies with employees Tracks individual establishments Aggregate data by county and NAICS Measures jobs: part and full- time, jobs held by undocumented workers, and jobs of workers employed at more than one firm Measures full time equivalent employees

Why is NETS useful for Kaua‘i?

Captures sm all businesses that may not be captured in State data Explores cottage industries, which are significant in Kaua‘i Tracks industry trends over a 1 0 year period, which helps identify concentrations, longer term trends and areas of opportunity and competitive advantage.

How the Economic Snapshot can inform the GP Update

• Identifies areas of opportunity for economic growth

that can be encouraged by GP Policies

• Identifies which types of businesses are

concentrated in Kaua‘i and may be areas of competitive advantage

• Can inform policy recommendations to support

convergences between opportunity clusters

• Provides a source of data to identify trends in

Kaua‘i’s economy. It will complement other data sources and policy documents (CEDS, State/Federal data, Tourism Strategic Plan, etc).

CAC Q&A

36

Manufacturing in Kaua‘i

Mark Perriello, Kaua‘i Chamber of Commerce

37

Makers Panel

Facilitated by Melissa White, SSFM International

38

What are “Makers”?

39

Artisans

Shared Shops & Spaces

Small Manufacturers

Why is the Maker economy important?

• Demand is growing across the country to revitalize

manufacturing and encourage industrial uses as part of urban fabric.

• Small scale production is cleaner and quieter than ever.
• Cities with a diverse set of small businesses invested in the

local economy are more resilient, and can weather market changes more readily.

• The growing movement of “Buy Local” is spreading across

the US and providing makers with strong local markets, along with access to a global market through the internet.

• There is a market for domestic contract manufacturing that

can be certified as locally produced.

Opportunities for Kaua‘ i

• Kaua‘i has a culture of makers and a desire for increased self-

sufficiency

• There is a strong brand identity for Kaua‘i (and Hawai‘i) that can be

leveraged through history, storytelling, and connecting to place

• There is an entrepreneurial spirit and a need to provide more
• pportunities for people to live and work in Kaua‘i
• As we’ve heard today, there are existing programs and organizations

that accommodate innovation and provide supportive frameworks for marketing, producing, and distributing Kaua'i products

• There are opportunities to benefit from associations with anchor

industries, particularly tourism and agriculture, to grow the maker economy

• Growth clusters such as defense and technological services can

support tech-oriented makers and provide higher paying jobs

• Legacy industrial uses exist on or around former sugar mills; there is a

potential for redevelopment or repurposing these facilities.

41

Issues for Manufacturing in Kaua‘i

• High shipping costs
• Lack of available industrial lands
• Compatibility with neighboring uses
• High labor costs
• Necessity of importing certain components
• Workforce skills and training

How the Panel Will Work:

• Zoom In: The Business
• Panelists have been asked to tell us about their business: unique

circumstances, needs, and challenges in getting started and scaling up.

• Zoom Out: Relationship to GP Policy Issues
• Panelists will be asked about areas of need that can be addressed

by GP policy. Where do we stand today on them? (Transportation, infrastructure, training, resources, workforce, incentives)

• Do panelists have what they need today to serve and grow their

business and keep it made in Kaua‘i?

• CAC Discussion on the Big Picture:
• Role of makers in Kaua‘i’s economy: Where are we going?
• Should resources be consolidated, or meet people where they are?
• Are there kinds of industries we can encourage to set Kaua‘i apart

and connect to key elements of its identity?

46

CAC Discussion Topic #1

47

• Kapa‘a, but communities around the island have expressed

interest in revitalizing their town cores as commercial destinations and gathering places. How can Kaua‘i’s town cores provide an environment that encourages small businesses to proliferate and thrive?

CAC Discussion Topic #2

48

Focusing on resources for small business, how do you see the shared economy fitting in with the culture of Kaua‘i, and the GP’s Vision? This includes:

• Shared workspaces and co-working
• Shared tools and equipment/processing facilities
• Shared marketing and branding platforms

(websites, retail collectives)

• Car sharing (Lyft, Uber, Zipcar) and transit
• Specialized spaces: Performance spaces,

exhibition spaces, recording studios
