Okay, back to the Governmental stimulus projects proposed for Hawaii County. I find three of interest:
1. Construct police station in economically disadvantaged Pahoa village next to new fire station to centralize public safety services in an area visible and accessible to the public. Hawaii County HI 100 $4,600,000
2. Hawaiian Paradise Park Subdivision District Park, development of 20-acre park site in rapidly growing subdivision with severely underserved recreational needs in an economically disadvantaged area
3. Installation of solar energy systems in homes for very low income elderly and disabled homeowners; Island of Hawaii has some of the highest electricity rates in the nation.
4. Gymnasium and recreational center in Pahoa.
I am totally in favor of the police substation, and you should be, too. I am not sure about the park in HPP -- I would rather have a mixed use commercial center/recreational area. I mean, 20 acres is pretty big for a park, and parks tend to attract bad people these days.
