Evidence is everywhere around that it has been made, built to last, and maintained by residents for their own use and enjoyment and to share with guests /visitors - -signs of peace and permanence. It looks locally owned and cared for, is unique, reflects local aesthetics, materials and resources and talents. It has gardens with fragrances and colors, and people of all ages are enjoying public spaces and amenities in evidence that they share a sense of community. A little cleaner and kept up store fronts with hopefully no vacancies More relaxed and smiling faces and less tension and problems with alcohol /addictions And increased feeling of community unity "comm- unity" (no comment) I will be gone because it has turned into California or Waikiki (left blank) Something in the line to Honoka'a town Staying with a theme old town in new develo -needs to stay in this style vs malama market center and Paul's Longs Center I drive by and wonder if I'm in Calif.

The feeling of an old village center; with tree lined streets devoted exclusively to pedestrian traffic; with parking hidden a short walk to a parking garage; a small park behind the shops on the Luquin's side of the street; A PCMC primary care facility above the town near the ball field; a PCMC developed Comprehensive Health Care campus just north of town on 130 with an Emergency Room, a Birthing Center, Long Term Care Facility; day care for children and the elderly; a Dialysis Center; a Behavioral Health facility, and so on. All of which to serve the expanded population we will have by then. Imagine it is 25 years from now in Pahoa —how do you see it? Page 19
