By bringing increased foot traffic to the down- <br /> town area, general feelings of desertion and decline will be alleviated and those associated with the <br /> college will have easier access to shopping, restaurants and entertainment. The existing businesses will <br /> gain economically and the increased number of customers will attract new businesses. <br /> Downtown Hilo has suffered from a recent exodus of businesses due to the development of new retail <br /> and professional areas. The move would revitalize a sluggish local economy which is greatly in need of <br /> economic stimulation. <br /> Again, I wholeheartedly support moving the College to Downtown Hilo and ask that the County Council <br /> do so as well. Should you have questions, I can be reached at 935-6006. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 4,. <br /> ~ , <br /> <br /> Christine O. Reed BBL Diw ~ b ' O <br /> H11e 16a.
