Hawaii's 30-member Economic Momentum Commission (EMC) is expected to release on its Web site http://www.emc-hawaii.com a report today detailing its plan to "prolong the "state's current economic vitality."

The commission, formed in June 2005 by Gov. Linda Lingle, aims to "sustain the state's current economic momentum over the longer term, reduce the traditional peaks and valleys of economic cycles, and enhance Hawai`i's natural and cultural resources."

Before finalizing the plan, commission leaders will seek input from the public by hosting statewide meetings at local universities that have the statewide interactive television system called "HITS."

The bipartisan commission, chaired by Don Horner, president and chief executive officer of First Hawaiian Bank, includes the Senate President and Speaker of the House and other legislative leaders, as well as leaders from Maui, Kauai, the Big Island and Oahu.

The commission leaders say they began meeting July 2005 and will to do so throughout November 2005, focusing on three main areas: Enhancing Quality of Life; Improving Employment, Education & Investment Opportunities; and Upgrading Infrastructure and Reviewing Master Planning Process.
