Subject: Testimony in SUPPORT of Resolution 561-24
Aloha County Council Members,
My name is Andrea Kawabata and I am kama'aina and a resident of Kona, Hawaii. I
strongly support Resolution 561-24. Kona Three, LLC was not recommended for
development by credible organizations like the Leeward Planning Commission, our
Cultural Commission, Soil & Water Conservation, Natural Resource Conservation Service,
and local archeologists. They are also not in alignment with our Kona Community
Development Plan because the land has great cultural significance, is in a major FEMA
Flood Zone, and this area of Kona has inadequate infrastructure to support such a project.
This PONC opportunity provides a win -win solution for land that should never have been
rezoned and allowed for housing development. To be purchase -ready as an opportunity is
very important to our community.
Thank you for your time.
Andrea Kawabata
