<br />Re: SB 2972,, SD 2, HD 1 Relating to Deivelolpment of Banyan Drive
<br />Hear"Ing Date: 014/014/20118 —21:30 pml H�ouse Conference Room 308
<br />Than,k you for again addressing an issue of great importance to the economic
<br />well-being of Hawiai 4 i County, the redevelopment of Banyan Drive. I support S,B 29,72,
<br />SDi 2, HD 1 -
<br />As SB 2972,, SD 2, HD1 1 sitates,, Banyani Drive is underuitilized and in disrepair. It
<br />is, the center of tourism in East Hawaii, but it is a Jewel that is q�uite tarnished at the
<br />piresent time,.,
<br />Hawai'i Cou,n�ty has taken the first, steps toward revitaliz,ing, the Banyan Drive
<br />peninisula. The administration, Council, colmm, u nI and Big Island legislators have
<br />found common purpose;, the redevelopment area has been defined- and a conceptual
<br />master plan has been created as a sta,rtinig point. Now fuiinds are needed to, conduct t,ht
<br />environmental impact statements necessary to complete the redevelopment plan and
<br />move forward,.
