    We need to find a way to rebuild our economy.  Gov. David Ige announced Wednesday that he has appointed Hawaiian Electric Co.’s senior executive advisor Alan Oshima to lead a statewide COVID-19 recovery initiative.

    Ige signed a proclamation to give Oshima a role in his office to lead the Hawaii Economic and Community Recovery and Resiliency Plan “to lead a collaborative effort with government, business, nonprofits and the community to develop and carry out” a plan for Hawaii to recover from the COVID-19 crisis.

    the plan was broken down into three parts: stabilization, recovery and resiliency.

    For “stabilization,” the goal is “to identify and address critical economic and community impacts, including the allocation of the federal CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) Act funds and state and local funding to mitigate the collapse of key economic sectors.”

    In “recovery,” the goal is to “identify and support economic and community development activities which provide recovery, job growth and capital investment in the economy.

    For “resiliency,” there would be a re-evaluation and restructuring of Hawaii’s economy “to meet the new normal and desired future for Hawaii.”
