Message From the President

The Wahiawa Community and Business Association (WCBA)was established in 1935. Originally called the Wahiawa Community Association, the WCBA is the most prominent representative of Wahiawa residents and businesses.

The WCBA has forged very solid relationships with all levels of federal, state and city government and with the community. All of our members have in one way or another benefited from their involvement with our association over the years.

We continue to be the strongest voice for upgrading the Kamehameha Highway store fronts to present to visitors and the community a wholesome country atmosphere. We continually work with all elements of Wahiawa to enhance the economic, environmental, and cultural climate of our community. We earnestly and diligently champion the preservation of the Wahiawa view-plane toward Waialua and Haleiwa, and have been working closely with our state legislators to preserve this land in agriculture. Wahiawa is the "Gateway to the Country".

Our WCBA continues to provide leadership to 1)the Community Strengthening Program, which seeks economic development opportunities, 2)to Malama O Wahiawa, our non-profit arm that fosters volunteer activity, graffiti eradication, and better security to residents through its the Neighborhood Security Watch Program.

The WCBA is honored to have a dedicated Board of Directors, some of whom have given years of volunteer service and leadership to the community.

Marcia Sumile
W.C.B.A. President

  COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS

Neighborhood Watch: Guided by the Honolulu Police Department, residents of Wahiawa meet together to work on strategies to reduce crime and drug activities in their own neighborhoods. Several neighborhoods in Wahiawa, with the support of the W.C.B.A. and Malama O Wahiawa have already scheduled meetings. You are welcome to attend these meetings and/or have one on your own street.

Community Strengthening Program (CSP): The CSP is a neighborhood planning process that aims at development of economic revitalization strategies for our town. CSP is partnering with Empower Oahu, the City and County of Honolulu, the state, and the Honolulu office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Their plan, when completed, will be submitted to the City for review and approval of a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area designation. The planning froup has drafted revitalization strategies and has been contacting community groups to seek their support. Your support is vital for Wahiawa's future.
