Our family has been part of this local community since 1984 when we bought the <br /> Kona Hilton, now known as the Royal Kona Resort. Recently we have spent considerable time and <br /> money to renovate our property, as we believe that the Big Island and Kailua Village have tremendous <br /> potential to be one of the greatest and safest destinations in our Island chain. However, we must all <br /> collectively work together to achieve this goal and I believe the BID will do just that. <br /> As a family-owned and operated company, we are pleased to see the formation of the Kailua V illage <br /> Business Improvement District. The mission of the organization is to make Kona's Kailua Village a better <br /> place in which to invest, work, live and play. The Kailua Village Business Improvement District will <br /> allow property and business owners, residents and government to work coopccativcly to improve and <br /> maintain [he physical appearance and aesthetics of public right of ways and parks, increase security and <br /> assist businesses in attracting business and tourism activity. <br /> The success of Business Improvement Districts can be seen by the Waikiki Business hmprovement <br /> District and the Fort Street Mall Business Improvement District both brought back the community and a <br /> restored sense of pride. <br /> Our employees and visitors deserve to feel safe in this environment while being able to appreciate our <br /> cultural gem, Kailua Village. Please support this effort that has taken several years and countless <br /> volunteer hours to bring us to this point. <br /> Sincerely <br /> Pr i awaiian Ho is & Resorts <br /> Phone (808)599-ti913 ®Fax (808)599-6ti22 <br /> Pioneer Plaza 900 Fort Street Mall, Suite 940 ®Honolulu, Hl 96813 <br /> Internet: www.hawaiianhotels.coro ~ ~ ~ <br /> comm.
