Artifacts likely being moved down into Pahoa at a location near Kaleo's and possibly to be housed in a new Cultural Center to be built
It sounds like an excellent idea to me. The displays in The Jaggar Museum offer a good background and history of geology and volcanology. It's a perfect yearly field trip for students who attend Pahoa area schools, where they might see real world applications of science right in their own backyard. The diagram of the World Class Visitors Center and Museum (at link in OP, click to enlarge), with a cultural center, art gallery, exhibit hall, and theater would be an incredible attraction for the Pahoa area.
It would be good for Pahoa businesses in the short term, and if cooled lava viewing and the eventual expansion of HVNP into lower Puna becomes a reality, it's a promising first step. HVNP could become a twisty shaped park (like a gerrymandered politcal district) on the 2018 lava flow winding through the remaining habitable private property, the land under 20 or 30 feet of lava purchased and incorporated into the HVNP with fissure 8 as a focal point, and perhaps a long hiking trail from the cone to the ocean.
There are so many possibilities.
