HomeMy WebLinkAboutCOM 0189.029 2020-2022 To the Hawaii County Council:
My name is Laura Mallery-Sayre and I speak in favor of Resoution-83-21 to purchase Ke
Ala Kakou (Holualoa Community Forest) TMK 76-004-003 consisting of 2.488 Acres
with the PONC funding available for land preservation. I concur with Simmy
McMicheals when she states :
Mitigating FEMA Flood Hazard, protecting Holualoa Village from immediate flood damage &
connecting Civic Spaces (IMIN Center& Holualoa Elementary School) to strengthen the
community. It would nourish the existing cultural practices in Holualoa and connect
educational spaces. It would assist our community in becoming more disaster prepared to host
displaced Kailua-Kona and South Kona residents in case of tsunami and/or Mauna Loa
eruption.
This type of land purchase is exactly what our community envisioned when it passed the
2 % Land Acquisition amendment years ago.
Please support this very meaningful purchase.
