KUROIWA KORPS <br /> 17 Kuikahi Street <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> (808) 935-7431 <br /> Honorable James Arakaki, Chairman 9Y 1, 1997 <br /> & Council Members S p~ <br /> Hawaii County Council Cwi , ~ <br /> OU ~ <br /> 25 Aupuni Street N7_Y, _ <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 C,- NywA1~ <br /> Dear Chairman Arakaki & Council Members: <br /> I am a principal with the business Kuroiwa Korps, which has holdings <br /> in Downtown Hilo. I would like to express to you my strong support <br /> for the proposed relocation of the Hawaii Community College to <br /> Downtown. <br /> Beyond the obvious economic advantages to moving the Hilo <br /> Community College into a depressed downtown setting; I would like <br /> to forward the image of a quaint college town bustling with activity <br /> attended by students, service stores as well as the public-at-large. <br /> I would like to see the displacement of beggars, pan handlers, <br /> prostitutes, druggies and drug dealers by the necessity to protect and <br /> attend to the needs of students, retailers, customers and the senior <br /> public. <br /> I would like to see the voluntary renewal of old historic building <br /> sites being turned into attractive tourist sites of public admiration. <br /> I would like to see parks, recreational areas, historic sites and statues <br /> blended into a background of unique small businesses and vocational <br /> <br /> education programs where practical hands-on experience can be seen <br /> working together. <br /> By making our town a small business college mecca we would <br /> <br /> capture an attractive mix of culture and economy that in one bold <br /> stroke would save a depressed town and offer a unique setting for <br /> our vocational oriented college. <br /> <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> rely, <br /> <br /> J Stansfield ~ ~ <br /> F..~. <br /> .i>-~t. iace NAY 0 5 1397 <br /> <br />
