I proposed before that Shipman Co. step up and be the "smart" hero instead of the obstructionist goat.
They could create a toll road through their property that would serve as a private commercial corridor for commuters, and, when necessary, an emergency route out of Puna.
Bill Walter expressed security concerns over public access to Shipman's agricultural lands. I feel he just needs to think outside the box a little and figure out how to safely implement it. I could get him a five camera security system from Costco for $300 that would cover all entrances and exits. Shipmans development budget may even afford something a little more sophisticated.
Gas Stations, convenience stores, entertainment venues such as amphitheaters, restaurants and markets that feature Shipman agricultural products.
The County pays nothing, Puna gets an escape route, Shipman grows and diversifies. Win Win Win.
Once again; I give this idea freely and only ask that they name it after my dog; "The Blinky Expressway".
