Dear Councilmembers: ~ tom' ;7

We the undersigned ask for your support for the cons~truc't~on 3
and operation of an irridation facility here on thejBig D'-'- ~
Island. Dom: c~
As a major grower/shipper of flowers we feel that one of the a
best ways to increase agricultural exports out of tie State
is through a centralised disenfestation facility.
Agriculture is the mainstay of East Hawaii and no single
entity will replace the vast amounts of ecerage formally
occupied by sugar cane. Nonetheless, there exists a
tremendous potential to take diversified agriculture into the
nest millennium because of new crops and new markets. Hilo
is Fortunate to have most of the infrastructure already in
place. Farmers only need the opportunity to export what we
already know we can produce with a reputation for quality.
Your support for the irradiator is an important step in
maintaining our lifestgle and offers a future for our
families and community. Please vote YES on April 24th.
Sincerely,
Customer Service Hotlinr. 1.800343-3133, SaIes~ i-8006-FLOtiI''ER (1-800.631-693:) K4
