The Section 428 program provides funds that the county and state can use their own discretion as to what they use the funds on.
King Harry and his gang originally came up with a figure of 2 million per mile to replace roads.Their plan was to remove all of the lava down to the original asphalt.
As we have seen it came in a lot less than that because they just provided a level road surface and it was paid for mostly by FEMA.
The county is talking about using the 428 money in different areas such as improving roads and subdivisions on the Kona side so those of us displaced could move over there.We don't want to move to Kona.
I have many friends who had no insurance and the land they owned is the only thing they have left. Many were farmers and they were there because it was the best place on the island to grow orchids, papayas and noni.
We are going to show up in mass just to keep the county from spending the money somewhere that isn't going to benefit those displaced or cutoff from their homes .
We actually still have a board of directors even though we don't have much of a subdivision left:
