This project will establish the concept, criteria, methodology, and <br /> funding strategies to implement and maintain a system of open space destinations connected by active living <br /> corridors. The implementation plan will focus on the Kona Urban Area, while the methodology and funding <br /> strategies will provide a template for other urban areas around the island. <br /> Original funding of$250,000 was estimated and appropriated five years ago, with additional funding <br /> anticipated upon thorough review of scope and requirements. Based on this review, the project will not <br /> exceed $500,000 to deliver the full scope of deliverables. <br /> SIGNED: DATE: 9121/2022 <br /> Department Head <br />
