HPP Mailboxes

[okedokey]

I have been researching the idea of adding more mailboxes in HPP. I have been on the waiting list for over 2 years now, and there are probably hundreds of people on the waiting list. The Keaau postmaster said that the postal service will service any boxes HPP adds, but they will not pay for them. He also says he wants new boxes put in a safer location in the area of the office and recreation center. The boxes cost $1000.00 for a bank of 16, which puts that at $62.50 per person. If you add the cost of installation, it would put it around $100.00 per person. Maybe if enough of us on the waiting list are willing to pay the costs, we could get the ball rolling. I currently drive to Pahoa for mail. The gas savings and convenience would certainly be worth $100.00 to me. Let me know what you think.
