FoPF Meeting - Nov. 8 in Pahoa Village

[Rob Tucker]

Friends of Puna’s Future
PCDP-
“Amend It” Program

You are cordially invited to participate in a community process to Amend the Puna Community Development Plan.


With the Puna Community development Plan (PCDP) having been passed by the Hawaii County Council into law it is important to remember that the plan has it’s flaws and amendments will indeed be needed.

Friends of Puna’s Future is committed to bringing together those who have participated in the PCDP process and those who are now ready to do so. All stake holders, large and small, will be invited to participate. If you are reading this and reside in or own property in Puna District of Hawaii County then you may now consider yourself invited.

A series of public meetings have been scheduled with the last being:



Pahoa Village
CommunityCenter
November 8th 2-5 pm.


These first meetings will be informational and organizational. It is FoPF’s intention to form up to four new working committees (WC) modeled upon the four sections of the PCDP FInal Draft. These are:

Malama I Ka Aina
Managing Growth
Transportation
Implementation

FoPF expects this effort to take place over several months extending into 2009. All participants of this effort will be asked to become Participating Members of Friends of Puna’s Future. No dues or fees are required. We look forward to the process of meeting more of our neighbors and engaging in a friendly community building effort.

With a new county council seating this winter there will be pressure to remove or water down the PCDP.
