It helps to be the state capitol.
If we move the Hawaii capitol to HPP the village center concept and cdp will work.
The cdp concept looks like the plan our grandparents and great grandparents used.It worked great for them until the auto was invented.
As soon as highway 130 becomes a four lane highway,the plan goes out the window.People are not going to shop in a village center when their job requires them to drive to Hilo and prices for groceries are cheaper in Hilo.
You can't keep out the big corporations if you want jobs.
