Almost $70.5 million on Keaau Master Plan... predominant owner: W H Shipman Ltd...
Irony: Shipman ALREADY HAS a Keaau 50 yr master plan for their lands, developed over a decade ago & presented at 6:30 on July 10, 2006 at their Keaau headquarters.
Kimo Lee from Shipman presented a very long range plan of some of the Shipman properties. Most of the plan was for the Shipman properties in, and abutting, Keaau Town proper - mauka of then Puna Fresh, now Foodland, mauka of Hwy. 130/11 intersection, Makai of Puna Hongwanji Mission, and between Keaau High & Keaau Loop. There was a little bit on the property abutting HPP, most of it is currently planned as rural residentional & Ag, but down on Kaloli Point, they do have a long range (50 year) plan to include a resort & golf course -Kimo repeatedly explained that the infrastructure for this would be a tremendous undertaking. Their long range plan also has a community college & sports complex on over 300 acres, makai of Hwy. 130, but this is a very long range plan. Right now their 5-10 year plan is mainly dealing properties in Keaau town & the 32 acre shopping complex 130 & 11.
Note: none of the 50 year plan presented then has been started... HMSA & Longs development were not on the presented plan...
