Winter 2022 Newsletter: Facilities Update
3570 Kalihi Street Development Update
After stalling at DPP for many months, the project is finally moving through the permitting process. We are hopeful to receive our permits and break ground in the first half of 2023. Construction is estimated to take roughly nine months so we should have the residences ready for occupancy sometime late 2023 or early 2024. This will usher in a new era of Chozen-ji being able to accommodate more people living here and increased capacity for short term residential programs. Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to the project over the last couple years.
Chozen-ji Facilities News
We have made significant progress on the buildings and grounds this year. We finally repaved the parking lot to get rid of all the potholes and be better suited to handle the heavy Kalihi Valley winter rains. Currently, we are in the process to finally replace the gate on Kalihi Street. Other recent work completed by students includes rebuilding the stone wall on the drainage ditch, stabilizing the stream bank, spreading new gravel and replacing aging toilets with more water-efficient models. As always, we appreciate everyone’s efforts, whether it be helping hands or financial support for upkeep.
