[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

The county released its updated plan for Kilauea & Puna.  Charts, graphs, and new maps:

Spoiler alert: it's an entire plan about ... making plans. It includes all the "golden oldies": determine improved connectivity routes, restore access along Chain of Craters, develop a Regional Town Center for Puna, and work out a strategy for Little Fire Ants, Albizia, Rat Lungworm.

Took them two years to figure all this out?

I have to agree with kalakoa. There is a ton of recycled old information and wish lists that never were going anywhere and probably never will. How much did this voluminous re-run cost us? I had to laugh when I saw a series of lava zone and flow maps that have been around since forever.

Where would a "Puna Town Center" be? Mountain View? Pahoa? Or?

Well at least Puna has gotten a little money for rebuilding lava overrun infrastructure, lately (ahalanui, roads, etc.). I just hope they will actually fund at least some of this, now. Interest rates are the cheapest (NIRP/ZIRP) so it makes good sense to float bonds now.

Where would a "Puna Town Center" be?

The PCDP (from 2008) identifies "town centers" as ... locations with existing C-zoned real estate.

The County kept most of the money for county workers, commissions, hearings, and maybe some for police to watch trespassers on Saddle Road for months at a time.

Puna gets a trophy for our participation in the actual lava flow disaster, nicely engraved:

at least Puna has gotten a little money

County still has most of the money.

Interest rates are the cheapest

County has cash from the Feds. No need bonds.

Have we waited long enough to try sneaking some money to Shipman again so they can develop more land around Kea'au?

The new mayor will have to be better. Kim wanted Puna razed
