Need more Beautify- and will see space ships Hopefully not change the downtown bldg much samall is VERY Important Very important Not too many more restraunt businesses STREETS PEOPLE -SIZED AND CLOSED TO TRAFFICIN A SPECIFIC AREA OF TOWN FOR SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT. 7 -11, MCDONALDS, BURGER KING, KFC & SUBWAY HAVE CLOSED DUE TO LACK OF CUSTOMER BASE Remove vagrants that panhandle in front of cash and carry. Keep the humbiness of pahoa, The talk I hear will make it more like Hilo. I hope that it still has the historic look and feel downtown. I hope that the business's are still locally owned. Lot's more locally produced products and food. People being active and out on the streetsin a safe place for all ages. A real regional center and not a suburb of Hilo. More Afordable housing for common people not just Pcleaed for the wealthy Also more public Access TV and Radio Stations if rent is more than social security check People cant afford Food dicease Afects Rich & P000r More community meals food banks Renters co -ops strip mall Mainland ugly artichetect. ILL Be gone But I would be part of the memory of the island style of living leaving the legacy to my children and grandchildren and so on. Hawaiians says Ma'alahi = Simple Keep it Simple- sustainable- with love and aloha. I would like to keep the "old" facade but keep it modern. If you loose The quaint feel, you might as well live in a modern city. KONA. I look at it; at my time back in the 70's it was so peace ful now in the 2000; things changes. more; businesses more people, so imagine 2025 -30 more changes you just gotta except it go with the changes. otherwise you're the loser. It feels great! lively and historic. Highway detour is finished so the Makuu- Paradise traffic is gone from Hwy130. All fast junk food places replaced by smoothie shops with drive - thrus. HELCO transmits only greenpower, no oil - generated electricity. Buildings contain air purifiers that turn on automaticallt when the H2s monitor signals alarm. I hope it has stuff for kids of all ages. Active i caring comunity That Pahoa Town has remained small. Not cmmercial. Local business are still around. No comment might improve or it might not. Another CATSU It's only got one bar and its quieter at night, the bar is not in the center of town but off on the side. The co -op is huge and thriving and has taken over the duties of Island Naturals. I am safe in town at night and the buses run an hour later to Kalapana. Would like it to stay simple. It's a historical, chee chee tourist center with the main commercial centers moved out of to planned developments; in hpp, kalapana, etc Imagine it is 25 years from now in Pahoa —how do you see it?
