KONA COMMUNITY <br />DEVELOPMENT PLAN <br />1. Introduction <br />The Kona Community Development Plan (CDP) is built upon a <br />foundation of ideas generated by the public. Opportunities to gain public <br />input were integrated in the planning process from initiation through <br />project's completion. The ideas brought in by the public were used to shape <br />development principles as well as the policy framework for the Community <br />Development Plan. Those ideas have given shape to the community's vision <br />of the future, have helped address issues related to policy and public <br />investments, and have defined how the community wants to grow in <br />the future. <br />ACP — Visioning & Planning designed the public process described in <br />this report and worked closely with the Environmental Similation Center <br />(ESC) that provided technical analysis and visualizations used throughout <br />the process. The Wilson Okamoto Corporation, based in Honolulu, and the <br />lead consultant for the CDP provided logistic support. <br />The public involvement process was designed and conducted so that the <br />results of each activity informed the content of succeeding ones. This <br />ensured that the public was involved in making all critical decisions for the <br />CDP. Great emphasis was placed on visualizing options and on using images <br />to engage the public in making informed choices. These methods were <br />particularly important because a large part of the public process was <br />dedicated to the issue of future growth of the community. <br />Kona Community Development Plan 1.1 <br />
