(He has since moved to California). <br /> Honomu residents generally support some additional affordable housing in our area. <br /> But many question why our community is being targeted for development of up to 3000 <br /> new homes? (Our total population was 541 in the 2000 Census). <br /> We would require information about infrastructure, sewage treatment, access and <br /> marketing plans before any decision about growth could be considered. <br /> The only presentation to HVA concerning this project was made about three years ago <br /> and proposed an assisted living center. The property owner has made no recent effort to <br /> encourage community support for residential development or inform us about his plans. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Elizabeth Logsdon Ernie Jungden <br /> Board Chair Director <br /> Claudia Woodward-Rice Doug Lung <br /> Director Director <br /> HVA MISSION STATEMENT <br /> To promote rural integrity, community spirit, youth involvement and economic <br /> sustainability through community collaboration and action. <br /> <br />
