PCDP seeks to centralize development in "designated commercial areas".
To date, there is only one major development, which is now under threat of lava inundation. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea?
What issues prevented the buildout of the other "designated" areas? Specifically in lower Puna, the PCDP identifies 3 in HPP, 1 for Ainaloa, and "possible subject to community review" in Nanavale, Kapoho, Seaview and Leilani. The existing areas in Orchidland and Hawaiian Beaches are also identified.
Had some development actually happened outside of Pahoa, those businesses would now exist to help fill the void left by the Malama Market shopping center if/when it is destroyed or becomes unreachable...
