"Get a zip code for HPP. And a post office."
On that thought:
I’m beginning to think that in the long run, for both the taxpayer AND the HPP resident, would have been better off if the USPS just took one of the 20 acres sites through eminent domain, and built a complex that not only functions as the home to the needed 8,000 plus mailboxes, but also a distribution hub where all Puna and surrounding areas inbound/outbound mail comes directly to/from, as well as paving the road from Hwy 130 to the claimed site in accordance with all applicable Federal, State and County regulations (again acquiring the road through eminent domain) for its trucks to transverse to and from the airport to the new HPP United States Post Office and other areas the new HPP Post Office would serve.
They could even name it after some famous Puna person. (I would suggest giving the naming rights to those who have lived/live in HPP)
Win win for all?
