To me I see income to the County. Business license, business tax, tax on the employee, etc. etc. why don't they see this. More importantly, it is jobs providing a service to the community. County should be giving incentives on retail space in Pahoa, or elsewhere to an individual, or group of partners to be able to sell what they have. Or help in the huge expense of a new restaurant? The infrastructure that it takes to take a raw space and create a certifiable kitchen is amazing, why not incentives/help there also? A reduction of building fees and plan check fees would certainly be a start, along with a "cheat sheet" or rep to guide you through the process to do it to their "standard" as to who governs and inspects, and when. Help a dream become a benefit to the community by becoming a local gathering place, employed by the community, benefiting all.
