There already is a Space Port on Hawaii island. It is called Kona Airport.
The proposal to create a Kona Airport/ Spaceport still requires the FAA to issue a launch site operator license to HDOT-A at KOA, before flights can begin. This will be for terrestrially operated space planes:

For extra-terrestrial visits, travelers must arrive and depart from the Kalapana Star Visitor Sanctuary. I believe Uncle Robert had already approved the permit, and a posted sign indicates the landing site above the all too rare these days free spaceport parking (& earth shell & jewelry sellers).
