State development in Waikoloa: PUBLIC LIBRARY for WAIKOLOA <br />REGION. <br />The 2418 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 Pan iolo Avenuenue. (See above.) The Iibrary 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 />•JIMr MYw�1M! ... <br />- <br />. <br />•[s�wihwr�RW i� � .W'E . <br />y r <br />.4nrh.�wia•11 OvrR�Oakny .� •� ♦-Tlr d�aA'i. ... ;Yyy� <br />w <br />r4 131 10 sn pu O•h • fi d <br />.nrr..m+m �! n <br />.lnl.�l,q Cha 1 i K--� <br />.�aa.wrw c •�: n�ee,p.... <br />�4N., mom <br />r <br />Li <br />�ra <br />`4, br <br />3.5.
