Waimānalo nonprofit files lawsuit to stop Sherwoods development

On Thursday, September 26, 2019, Save Our Sherwoods filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court asking the court to stop construction of a massive 'sports complex' at Waimānalo Bay Beach Park, commonly known as Sherwood Forest. The lawsuit alleges that the City and County of Honolulu failed to

adhere to federal land use controls; that the City violated federal and state historic preservation laws; that permit approvals were flawed; and that the project's Environmental Assessment has serious problems. Earlier that day, Honolulu Poliee Department arrested 28 individuals for blocking construction access to the site. Visit "Save Our Sherwoods" on Facebook for up to date information on the issue.
