That logic is real business logic and can and will apply to every intersection on Highway 130. That is where commercial sprawl comes from. Every business wants high traffic potential.
Does the community want Hwy. 130 to turn into Kanoeluha? The broad input from the community surveys which led to the PCDP was to keep Puna a rural agricultural district. If all you see in future years along our highway are stores, fast food restaurants and strip malls what will Puna become? It is a question.
So does the business go to the traffic or does the traffic go to the business location? It is a choice.
Costco in Kona is in an established commercial zone. Not on the highway. I don't think they lose a nickel by being where they are. People know where they are and they go there.

Assume the best and ask questions.
