The DRAFT Community-Based Vision and Living Action Plan for <br /> Downtown Hilo 2025 truly represents the work of numerous residents, business <br /> owners, and those of us from nearby communities that consider Hilo our <br /> "hometown". { am inspired by the work that has gone into this project and feel <br /> this action plan represents the hopes and dreams for making Hilo a uniquely <br /> wonderful community of aloha and sustainability. <br /> The project's scope considers all stakeholders: economic, such as business, <br /> development, academia and the science community; the environment; those less <br /> fortunate who call downtown Hilo home; our keiki and kupuna; the arts and <br /> culture; and local and county government. The vision is broad and the <br /> possibilities to make Hilo a desirable model of sustainable community living are <br /> present in this action plan. Now it takes the leadership of our elected officials to <br /> move Hilo forward and actualize the vision. <br /> Thank you, the other members of the County Council, and Mayor Kim for your <br /> consideration and I look forward to seeing "Ike is Hilo 2025" move from vision to <br /> reality, with your support. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ~S <br /> <br /> J Cade Bon ®O~~ <br /> <br />
