the "alternative projects" will include the Keaau wastewater treatment plant,
The wastewater treatment plant will then handle sewer intake lines from pre-approved subdivisions on Shipman property. Like previous Puna lava land subdivisions, large landowners will always find government officials who willingly approve their investment schemes, presented to the general public as a benefit for the average guy as it will offer them property at an affordable price point.
Then, some decades in the future when the small property owners and their children start showing the effects of arsenic poisoning* (and who knows what else) from former sugar cane lands which are now their yards, schools, public parks, and shopping centers, taxpayers will once again be left holding the bag for a superfund cleanup. Former residents will be paid pennies on the dollar for their homes because they should have known better, and the little guy gets screwed once again.
* land development approved based on a 2019 study showing "safe" levels of arsenic ppm in the soil, invalidated by later studies
