I'm not as plugged in to the coconut wireless as I once was, but maybe someone on here has heard more recent/better whisperings than I have.
Before announcing his run for governor, I had heard that Kahele was talking to the post office people about relocating to the old Malama Market location, using the argument that it would be faster and cheaper than going through the process of building a new one. Then I heard that for various reasons, the Feds quashed that idea.
I've now recently heard that the same old Malama Market space is being considered for the Pahoa Library. I am all for it. Reconfiguring the inside space would be much faster and cheaper than going through the process from 'buying land, infrastructure, etc." The parking is more than 10x the existing library lot. There is nighttime lighting for the safety of both patrons and staff. It's on a major transportation route/hub. I could go on and on about why I think it's a very good idea, but I want to know if anyone else has heard of this possibility. It's an election year, and the opportunity of bringing this up to candidates running for office will never be better.
