We need your help. We need written testimony e-mailed right away!
® ®�® Everyone we need to give
thanks to Eileen for pushing this project forward and keeping us
energized and wanting to spread the word! Mahalo to Eileen
O'Hara!
This is the land that we're trying to save from commercialized
development: https•-I/www commercialsearch.com/commercial-
property_/usJhilpahoa/historic-honolulu-landing-1/ It can
be as simple as an email to counciltestimony@hawaiicounty.gov
Saying: "I support Resolution 286-25 being heard by the LAAC on
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025 Honolulu Landing is a jewel of a
property and deserves to be preserved from commercial
development." You can
personalize the email to give it more character so that it's not just a
standard form letter make it personal. Or you can add other points
like the fact that Lower Puna (Puna Makai) has limited ocean access
after the 2018 volcanic eruption on the East Rift Zone and we need to
preserve this land in perpetuity as it already serves as a place to
gather by the ocean, fish and collect
opihi.
Or you could mention that the Honolulu ahupua'a is home to one of
the older undisturbed village sites along the Puna coastline which is
the area first settled by the polynesians arriving from the S.
Pacific. This area contains many cultural features and qualifies to be
on the list of State Historic Sites. and that the Hawaiian Lineal
Descendant's are in full support of its preservation as open

space. You can give a personal account of the
years you and your families have enjoyed having Honolulu Landing as
a place where you can go and spend time with family go fishing and
find peace. The most
important thing is we do not want that land to become
commercialized. We want that land to be purchased by the County Of
Hawaii and to be held in perpetuity as an Ancient Historical Hawaiian
Village Preservation Site. This is really urgent. We need to band
together. We DESPERATELY need your help! This is URGENT!
