Communication No. 2019-10 <br />Waikoloa Subcommittee's Waikoloa Road-Paniolo Avenue Intersection Report <br />3.4. State development in Waikoloa: PUBLIC LIBRARY for WAIKOLOA <br />REGION. <br />The 2018 legislature authorized the purchase of land in Waikoloa to build a public library. On <br />April 25, 2019 Governor David Ige released $1.9 million in Capital Improvement Project funds <br />to buy a 1.750 -acre parcel for the new Waikoloa Public Library. The library is to be located on <br />one of the parcels in the future Waikoloa Plaza shopping center, near the intersection of <br />Waikoloa Road and Paniolo Avenuenue. (See above.) The library site would be just past the <br />existing Post Office building on Pua Melia Street. <br />Once the parcel is purchased by the state, the Department of Land and Natural Resources is <br />required to prepare an Environmental Assessment for the project and the public will have the <br />opportunity to submit comments. After that, the project will start its design phase during which <br />the community can provide their advice about what should be included in the facility. <br />Friends of the Library of Waikoloa Region (FLWR) has worked diligently for over a decade to <br />procure a Public Library for the Waikoloa Region residents and visitors. They are hopeful that <br />the library will be completed and accessible in 2022. <br />1M%—"VA."Wdub if Warknlna HlgnNrrda <br />Site Plan — — ngCPnhr <br />P4 <br />5gnH imams ...•.••....... .......... _ _ ., <br />. abM1.
