CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT
The HSC, a network of professional, motivated adults and community leaders,
holds regular meetings with Parks and Recreation County Hawaii in discussion
and anticipation of this project.Through these meetings we have communicated
the need for the Skateplaza and the positive impact it will have on the County of
Hawaii.A 2.53 ac. parcel of land located in the Ho'olulu Sports Complex has
been agreed upon between Hawaii County's Department of Parks and Recre-
ation and the Hilo Skateplaza Coalition as a suitable location.The HSC is com-
prised of concerned members of the community and have met the excitement
and anticipation of the youth through various efforts.We have received positive
responses from the community through numerous public relations and fundrais-
ing events such as: - Consistent public organizational meetings - Community pe-
titions - Production of a short promotional video with testimonials - Numerous
successful fundraising events - Ongoing public relations campaigns
