Old Town ....Village (note: could not deciper written comments #response 25A) All we can do is dream. i see everything dead. i heard theres geothermal somewhere around leilani an it kills us everyday or something. well i hope we dont all die before 25 years but thats all i see. More shopping centers, more people taking care of the environment, more pubic programs, and nicer roads. idk it would be more enviormental freindly i would see alot of artifacs around the town I imagine the ocean still be as pretty as it is the aina cleaned up a little bit more and kinda a lot more people being down this side and a little more shopping place to be open. it feels and looks the same. i hear cars, because theirs alot of traffic. I hope to see the community more aware of everything & hopefully get to see more saftey issues around the town. Well I can imagine it will change alot, i can't think of how it would look /feel /hear /smell of the sorts but i do know it will grow and what'll make me love it is if people will truly be happy with the change. if i was to come back to pahoa 25 years from now i would want to see the town filled with more people and houses looking more nicer /beautiful /decent. I see a more and better civilized town. I see markets and shopping centers of our needs, i see buses going in and out constantly, and i see more pavement, crosswalks, and more street lights As i think about Pahoa, i imagine a brand new mall, movie theater, brand new stores, mcdonanld, brand new houses with new people. Improved roads that cost less accidents.) would be walking around town without danger in mind from other people. Hilo people would actually come down and check it out and be amazed of how much it improved. Like a city just better people, more jobs and not so dirty. more things to do beside drugs. and smoke I think Pahoa would be a Hilo in 25 years because it is slowly producing stores. there is nothing to say because i will not be living here in 25 years or anytime soon i think that it would be more cliff rent like seeing more suff and more peolpe will come. i love pahoa becausei have to go to school hea and all my friends r hea. pahoa town in 25 years is similar to pahoa town now (i hope) with the same vibe and hopefully alot of the old pahoa town feel. i hope that pahoa town doesnt change too much in the next 25 years and i hope it still feels familiar and home -y 25 years from now, i want to have the same aloha feeling, i want to see cleaner in -town streets, and last i want to NOT hear the sound of car brakes and smashing cars. a place where i can walk around and not worry about being mugged I'd like to see a controlled type cultural center /museum where locals /Hawaiians work to preserve their lifesyle and can share it with others who are willing to learn. Sustainability would be another area that would be perfect... more agriculture /flower exports, renewable energy sources. etc. I don't know yet. But if my 2 concerns would be implemented .... then I would be happy already. Imagine it is 25 years from now in Pahoa —how do you see it? Page 13
