Testimony for Market Kiosks in Chinatown
IMPORTANT NEWS: SHADE recently learned about the City's interest in the Market Kiosks developed during last year's Summer Institute (2015). The proposed amendment to Bill 15 will implement the design to re-purpose existing trellis columns on Sun Yat-Sen and College Walk Malls to create market kiosks.
The kiosk was designed by reusing the existing trellis columns lining the street. They could potentially be home to many local street vendors and businesses within the Chinatown community, which will stimulate economic growth and community interaction.
We would like to thank the support of the Chinatown community and the State of Hawai'i for allowing us to work with them for the duration of this project.
SHADE Institute as a Non-Profit Organization
Today makes history as the SHADE Institute is a certified non-profit charity organization. As many of you know, SHADE was started a little over a year ago, with the intention to inspire, create and develop local communities.
We here at SHADE would like to extend our greatest thanks to all of you who have supported us through this process. As promised, we will continue to strive in developing young minds and inspiring generations through our work.
