wondering if the Shipman people are trying to revive their plans for a new Kea'au town center

Exactly this -- but it's not a"revival", merely a very slow process, so slow it seems stopped. Development in Hawaii is a long game.

New Keaau will have "everything within walking distance" ... for the ("right") people who can afford homes therein. People from the subdivisions can just take highway 130; the congestion there isn't Shipman's problem
