Isaac Kepo'okalani Hale Beach Park Improvements <br />The conceptual park improvement plan has evolved throughout the <br />Revitalize Pohoiki initiative, with the Preferred Park Concept from May <br />2022 presented in this plan. This version has been used by Parks Er <br />Recreation in the proposed scope of work submitted to FEMA, it is <br />estimated to cost $3.1 million to implement. The final design and <br />construction of Isaac Kepo'okalani Hale Beach Park improvements <br />may somewhat differ from the conceptual plans due to the <br />subsequent environmental review process, further community <br />engagement, and engineering considerations. <br />The County considers these improvements to Isaac Kepo'okalani Hale <br />Beach Park, to be funded through FEMA disaster recovery funds, as <br />just one phase of the park's revitalization. The County is committed to <br />working in partnership with Pohoiki area'ohana, the Puna community, <br />and stewardship groups to secure additional funding and assistance <br />to implement the long-term vision contained within this plan, <br />including, but not limited to educational opportunities, space for <br />cultural practitioners, food production, placemaking and wayfinding, <br />stewardship, as well as other more traditional park improvements. <br />The County acknowledges that many efforts need not rely solely on <br />government funding or leadership and welcomes those with interest <br />and expertise to be part of plan implementation. <br />� KK <br />
