Navy to Return 44 Acres of Land to Hawaii State Control
The Department of the Navy is returning nearly 44 acres of federal land in Hawaii, including 31.693 acres at Kalaeloa and a 12-acre facility on Molokaʻi. This transfer aims to enhance local stewardship and support economic development in the state.

The Department of the Navy is initiating the return of approximately 44 acres of federal land to Hawaii, including 31.693 acres at Kalaeloa and a 12-acre Marine Corps facility on Molokaʻi. Governor Josh Green stated that the Navy will fulfill environmental and legal requirements for the transfer while maintaining open communication with the state.
The Kalaeloa site is used for film and television production, and the state plans to enhance this use post-transfer. The future use of the Molokaʻi facility will be determined through community engagement. Final transfer dates remain unspecified as federal ownership continues until all necessary processes are completed.
