Fred Blas Report Card

[james weatherford]

Geothermal in our community, including the relocation and community benefit fund, is an issue. A conversation to be had.

Thanks for raising the topic of "connectivity".
All discussion and proposals for an "alternate route" Puna-Hilo are explicitly for a "major rural collector".
Smaller "connector" roads that are intended for "connectivity" may not be able to get Federal money -- in the world of the Hawaii County Planning Department, getting Federal money is an end in itself. Whatever it takes to get that money, they're prepared to create a justification for. Keeps 'em looking important.
