Testimony for Resolution # 286-25
Aloha a kakou,
I, Lona K MacKelvie, after careful consideration, give forth my strong support in that the land recognized
as historic Honolulu Landing, Government Beach Rd, Pahoa, be purchased by the State, to protect this
land in perpetuity as a preservation site from anyfuture development.
First and foremost reason is the preservation of history and to instruct future generations.
Second is the economic considerations. It has been proven by experience that development will become
counter productive. The needs of the community will transform into being unmet and a burden for future
generations to come.
If the 364 acres are to be purchased by the state and the land is managed as conservation the future
generations will have the ability to uphold culture and malama the land.
Please take into consideration the importance of conserving this prized land for the future. oC-)
