<br /> H 1 CA HAWAII ISLAND CONTRACTORS' ASSOCIATION <br /> 494 C KALANIKOA STREET HILO, HAWAII 96720 TELEPHONE (808) 935-1316 <br /> In conclusion -We must plan for the future and agriculture has been and will always be a way of <br /> life for the residents of the Big Island. We can no longer afford to rely on methods that are not <br /> competitive in the global market. We can all grow our own food in our backyards and lanais and it <br /> still won't help our economy. We need income from outside of the state to build and maintain our <br /> economy. Tourism is one important source. Giving Hawaii Island growers the opportunity to sell <br /> our unique tropical produce is another. The Hawaii Island Contractors' Association supports the <br /> measure to fund the development of the post harvest treatment facility for irradiation. <br /> Hawaii Island is in need of economic stimulus. Let us take a bold stand for our families, friends, our <br /> future. The Hawaii Island Contractors' Association requests passage of this measure. <br /> Thank you Mr. Chair, Committee, People of Hawaii. <br /> ; <br /> Hugh Willocks, <br /> President, The Hawaii Island Contractors' Association <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
