PONC acquisition
As a lover of forests, watersheds, coastal habitat, and the preservation of Hawaiian culture —all criteria for PONC
acquisition—] join the many voices calling for Honolulu Landing to be purchased by the County. With so much
development pressure in Hawai'i, now is more than ever a time to set aside valuable lands, protecting them from the
vagaries of the private property marketplace. Several local nonprofit community groups, including groups led by
people of Hawaiian ancestry, are ready and have the capacity to steward this property, gradually developing
methods of public access that honor the 'aina and embody kuleana. Time is of the essence, with the current owners
motivated to sell. Please add your vote in support of this important acquisition.
