Imagine it is 25 years from now and you are in PÄ

I would love to see sidewalk restaurants, laughter, music, shops with open doors, wooden store fronts and huli huli chicken. small shops, clean, sidewalks, community and health centers. safety and security walking the streets at night. no additional glowing neon signs. Keeping the buildings similar style. Art on the buildings it is still colorful and unique I want Pahoa town to have the same funky personality, but with enough local jobs and businesses that the current unrelenting poverty is gone. If we have services and improvements in place so we can use this location instead of having to go to Hilo, we can stay in our community and support it ...... that would be heaven.... Pahoa Town 25 years from now should feel the same as it did 25 years ago with updated Medical Services It will still be a place with character, not like Waimea.Maybe no traffic through town [besides catering to businesses, all pedestrian like so many towns in Europe Well I would be 100 years old and if I was still seeing another day I would be happy with just that. This town will grow fast enough on its own and I hope they do not try to make it into another New York, Boston, Chicago, LA of San Francisco. There is not too many places in this country that really have it better than us. We on mainland now. No locals allowed. Throw them out. We take over with Fopf as our unelected dictators (MG 5/10 NCA) lights Shoppin Emergency Room, Hospital Malama Market should expand It's too small (MG 5/10 NCA) Better roads, A college or community college, Hospital, indoor mall, Super Wal- mart. (MG 5/10 NCA) Maintain small Town atmosphere, while embracing modern inovaions. (MG 5/10 NCA) I have no idea what to expect. I hope there's very minimal development and that Pahoa Town keeps its small town atmosphere. I hope most of the landscape stays the same and maybe more native plants and trees are added. The rapid advance of commercialism has been averted and he same charm, though expanded, still prevails. There is room for small idiosyncratic and creative people to make their living there. It is 100% sustainable with garden plots abounding. Why didn't they let the people know in better ways about this cdp. This is all about who you know in planning department. Imagine it is 25 years from now in Pahoa —how do you see it? Page 9
