EnVision Downtown Hilo 2025: A Community -Based Vision <br /> and Living Action Plan has served this community well. As a model community <br /> planning effort for the Planning Department, it has been both a challenge and an <br /> accomplishment. <br /> The 5 -Year Action Plan Update has shown us how a community can grow. <br /> There have been many lessons learned. More importantly, new relationships <br /> have developed over the last 5 years which has made this effort invaluable. With <br /> increased collaboration and partnership between government and community we <br /> have achieved the highest level of accomplishment. Shared wisdom breeds <br /> success! <br /> I wish to thank all of you for your commitment as we strive to achieve the Vision <br /> for Downtown Hilo. There is much to work on and over time, the way in which we <br /> work together will evolve. This is expected. I have no doubt, however, that with <br /> commitment, perseverance, and continuous dedication by all of you — including <br /> the special volunteers who on a daily basis nurture our town, we will overcome <br /> any challenges together. Downtown Hilo is a resilient community, and it will <br /> remain a special place for many generations to come. <br /> Mahalo nui loa, <br /> `. g":" <br /> BJ Leithead Todd, Planning Director <br /> January, 2010 <br /> Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br /> EDH 2025: 5 -Year Action Plan Update 11 ( P a g e <br />
