RE: Woodland Center to start building this week - Rob Tucker - 03-03-2009 Zoning is one of the tools Hilo has used to starve Puna for business. Puna has a population roughly equal to Hilo and Puna has something like 55 acres of commercial zoning while Hilo has 2,000 acres of commercial zoning. It is not an accident. We hope that the Puna Community Development Plan (PCDP) , as a legal CoH planning document, will help ease the way for development of village centers in places like HPP. All Puna citizens should watch for attempts at council to water down or diminish the PCDP.

I was told that they had no acceptable offers due to the lack of commercial zoning. In the current economic environment, they will have an even harder time selling it. Cheers, Jerry |
