Is there any sort of restoration plans for the town of Pahoa?
I’d love to see that place with the power lines routed underground and all spiffed back up.
It’s funny now because every time I go out there, I am reminded of my experiences living in Mexico and seeing very similar buildings and hazardous power line conditions, etc. I’m always brought back to my memories of the many small towns found in Mexico, the same applies to the host of other little communities on the Big Island.
It just strikes me as odd that Pahoa has a large number of surrounding residents and experiences perhaps the greatest numbers of visitors/patrons relative to other like type "dilapidated" (respectfully cited) towns (Based on my observations that is). It just seems a movement would be under way to spruce it back up and get HELCO to invest back into the community and run the power underground. It's also HELCO in Puna; correct?
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
