Damon is right, the young folks need opportunities for both making a living and enjoying life. For my part I want to see development as part of the community plan.
You have to remember that Puna has been starved for business zoning. The Hilo plan for Puna was three words: "Drive to Hilo". At this time the plans are coming into place for business park locations and bona fide commercial zones within village centers. More local job and shopping opportunities will mean less driving to Hilo (which the Hilo powers are not happy about). There is certainly a need for a variety of improvements. Now that the PCDP is coming to place (if Mayor Kenoi will stop delaying implementation) investors will be able to plan their investments.
