I think a new market and shopping center would be nice too. Let me ask you this though...
How do you feel about Hwy. 130 having a new shopping center or two, a couple or three car dealerships, several more fast food joints, licquer stores, auto part stores, etc. lining the length of the road from Keaau to Pahoa?
If one commercial setting is allowed on the highway you can't say no to the next one and the one after that. In that manner Hwy. 130 will rather rapidly resemble Nimitz Hwy in Honolulu or Kanoelehua in Hilo. Another side affect would likely be the death of Pahoa Village as all business migrates to the highway.
Which model of development is best for Puna? Village center development of highway development? We all know what developed highways look like (I'm not getting into the traffic problems of multiple left turns into dozens of business establishments).

Assume the best and ask questions.
