Committee integrated the Values and Vision Statement with the Community Profile to develop the thirteen Community Objectives that the CDP is designed to achieve (listed in Section 1.8.1 of the CDP). In the third stage, extensive research was conducted to identify the range of strategies that could be used to achieve the Community Objectives. From those strategies, a combination of policies and actions was identified that, when implemented together, will realize the community's vision for the future. Those strategies were compiled into the preliminary "working draft" of the CDP. The Hamakua CDP Steering Committee reviewed that draft, discussed it, and made recommendations for revisions. Next, the broader community and stakeholders had the same opportunity, and the Steering Committee used that input to make further revisions before it was satisfied that the CDP truly reflects community preferences. On December 19, 2016, the CDP Steering Committee made its final recommendations for CDP revisions and adoption.
