Obie one.
Yes, we had got onto the relocation list several years before being offered a low ball buyout by our county. The county offered us much less than our house and property was worth or we had into it, with no relocation expenses added to the buyout offer. The county and PGV has done a good job keeping the value of nearby homes to PGV low so they could buy them at there lowest value possible.
Where in Hawaii can one move and buy a home from Puna if they were to except the county's low ball relocating offer? Not Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Kona, or Waimea.
If the PGV was located in Kona where most of it's produced electricity ends up going would the relocation fund have more money in it by now? NO, the % is the same.
Would the relocation buyout offers from the county be higher if the PGV was instead located in Kona? Yes, as the value of Kona property and homes are higher than lower Puna's.
