<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> TESTIMONY TO THE HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON FINANCE 43rd <br /> Session September 19, 2006 <br /> <br /> FROM: Dean Nagasako, PO Box 313, Pahala, HI 96777 808-928-6228 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 4 - <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ALTERNATIVES TO PUNALU'U DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br /> One would have to be living in a cave 24/7 to not now that the Ka'u district is the last <br /> frontier that is untouched in the main Hawaiian Island Chain. Especially concerning <br /> Punalu'u Black Sand Beach Park, no Honolulu like concrete jungle should be developed <br /> there. <br /> <br /> Rather, a Cultural Center, Educational Center, a University of Hawaii Oceanography <br /> Center and a Turtle Sanctuary are great alternatives rather than a massive concrete jungle <br /> in the area. <br /> <br /> I like a Turtle Sanctuary especially because you can charge tourists a fee to go into <br /> Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. A Cultural Center would also be profitable. Both entities <br /> could be run by Hawaii County which would provide revenues. It would be a win-win <br /> situation for Hawaii County and you would have to be living in a cave 24.7 to not see this <br /> feasible ventures. <br /> <br /> <br /> (Oeon <br /> Dean Nagasako.
