Active SLED Opportunity · HAWAII · STATE OF HAWAII

    Applicants shall propose a project to increase production to replace flowers imported into the State. Priority will be given to eligible producers with innovative projects that will lead to the wide distribution of plants for backyard and/or subsistence growers as well as commercial operations for the purpose of producing flower for local consumption. Proposals can focus on one or more imported flower types. If the proposal is to replace one flower type, consideration will be given to the impact that replacing that flower will have on the effort to replace imported flower, which will reduce the number of invasive species brought into the State, as well. To achieve this goal, DAB announces the availability of approximately $200,000 in general funds for one Import Replacement Project to replace flowers imported into the State. This solicitation will fund one award for a project that results in the most impact to flower production in the State. DAB will administer a competitive process to award funds and provide oversight to monitor the project. The primary goal of FLWIMPREPLACE26 is to increase production to replace flowers imported into the State.
