Aloha, Genxor:
Actually at least one of the larger subdivisions, HPP, had several reasonably large (20 acres each, I think) areas set aside for commerce, light industry, and educational use. None of these areas has as yet been put to such use, but if you look at the tax key map, the plots remain there, undivided. I am not sure if the proper zoning is in place, however.
Also, there is the nucleus of a commercial center in Orchidland with several businesses, but I don't know if it was originally planned that way. I also don't know what, if any, potential for expansion the Orchidland commercial area has.
In any case, there was at least a little bit of foresight in HPP. We can only hope that the Puna Community Development Plan takes advantage of the opportunity there. And yes, some will complain about this, too, but I was aware of these areas when I did my research before buying in HPP.
Perhaps someone else knows of other subdivisions with village center potential.
Cheers,
Jerry
