A small neighborhood center is also being proposed to help address the servicing and <br /> shopping needs of area residents. In so doing, it would help minimize traffic from the <br /> hundreds of homes in this area to Keauhou, Kailua, and other parts of Kona. With the <br /> presence of 350 homes adjoining the neighborhood center, this area would be <br /> transformed into a small village of sorts. <br /> It is our understanding that the developers have agreed not to have any of these uses, <br /> including the affordable housing units, available until all of the roadway improvements <br /> have been completed. <br /> From our perspective, these are projects that are definitely needed not tomorrow but <br /> today. These are projects that help with our affordable housing, infrastructure deficit, and <br /> are timed in a manner so as to fulfill the principle of concurrency. We respectfully <br /> request your favorable and expeditious consideration of these measures. <br /> The Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce represents over 600 member businesses from <br /> Ka'u to Kohala. The mission of the Chamber is to advocate a successful business <br /> environment in West Hawaii. Our vision is to provide leadership for enhancing quality of <br /> life incorporating our unique cultures and resources. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ~1 <br /> <br /> Eric von Platen Luder, President <br /> Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce <br /> <br />
