f r Honorable Hiram Hagiwara Page 2 September 19, 1983 While there have been some improvements made within downtown Hilo, the area is still somewhat physically deteriorated and in need of some measure of economic revitalization.

In doing so, downtown Hilo can once again become a center of attraction and also become an active, existing and economically viable element of the City of Hiloo a well as the entire island. The Planning Commission is approving the plan with the followin, modifications: 1.
