I appreciate that you disagree. However 1,300 people who participated in the community effort made some things clear. Puna is to remain a rural agricultural district. That is the basis of the PCDP which has been passed by council into law.
It is possible to achieve safer roads....very needed. It is possible to achieve closer source of goods and services... very needed. It is possible to have improved public transportation... very needed. The PCDP shows how to do all that.
But it is not necessary to turn Puna into a clone of Honolulu to do it.
So the Hwy. 130 corridor is closed to commercial development. There will not be gas stations at every intersection. Car lots, bars, restaurants, laundry mats and convenience stores will be located in village centers. You will not be entering Burger King from Hwy. 130.
There is an amendment process approaching - Friends of Puna's Future is launching a amendment discussion on Oct. 11 in HPP. You are invited to particpate.

Assume the best and ask questions.
