Honolulu - The Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA), the state agency guiding the redevelopment of the Kaka‘ako and Kalaeloa Districts of Honolulu, is soliciting public comments through May 3, 2006, on its draft Policy and Development Strategy Plan for the historic Ala Moana Pump Station site and developable lands in the Ewa portion of the Kaka‘ako Makai area.

Preservation Online: Today's News Archives: Farmland Beside N.Y. Revolutionary War Battlefield Protected

Preservation Online: Today's News Archives: Farmland Beside N.Y. Revolutionary War Battlefield Protected

As sprawl encroaches on national parks like Gettysburg and subdivisions are built on other battlefields, the outskirts of one Revolutionary War battlefield will be preserved for years to come.
For the past 10 years, a conservation group has been working to protect 560 acres of farmland adjacent to the Saratoga Battlefield in Stillwater, N.Y., 40 miles north of Albany.
In January, the group, the Manhattan-based Open Space Institute, announced that it had secured a conservation easement on the 380-acre privately owned Saratoga Sod Farm, which abuts the park on three sides. The group also bought 182 acres of undeveloped land outside the park, which it plans to donate to the National Park Service.
