Agribusiness Development Corp. is on the cusp of finding a contractor to build a highly specialized food processing facility in Whitmore Village .

The facility will include specialized ag equipment and DOE ’s centralized kitchen.

DOE is in the final stages of signing a $28 million contract to build the kitchen.

Proponents say the hub will be a blueprint for other islands and help reinvigorate Hawaii 's agriculture economy.

The kitchen will distribute up to 20,000 meals daily, all prepared in the Whitmore Village kitchen.

Lawmakers and state officials have called it the “ Zippy’s model ,” in which cooking and packaging happens in a central location and the food is heated at the schools.

The community has raised concerns about the project's effect on traffic, among other things.
