Dear Council Member Ford:
I am writing in response to Resolution No. 303-12, urging the repeal of HRS Chapter 171C. I would like
to clarify some apparent misunderstanding regarding the Public Land Development Corporation (PLDC)
contained in your resolution.
Repealing HRS Chapter 171C will not solve the problems mentioned in your resolution which include
traffic circulation issues, insufficient numbers of law enforcement officers and fire fighters, insufficient
potable water wells, insufficient sewer capabilities and uncontrolled development. Instead, the PLDC
may aid Hawaii County in alleviating some of these issues.
The mission of the PLDC is to create and facilitate partnerships between state and county agencies,
departments, businesses, non-profits, and community groups to improve communities, create jobs, and
expand benefit. This mission could include projects such as the creation of affordable housing and the
fixing of aging infrastructure to bring in revenue for the Department of Land and Natural Resources'
conservation projects.
The PLDC would like the opportunity to work with Hawaii County to address the issues mentioned in
your resolution. We believe the PLDC can assist in providing innovative solutions for the people of
Hawaii County, while creating long term value that benefits communities throughout the State of
Hawaii,
PLDC is opposed to Resolution Number 303-12.
Sincerely,
Lloyd M. Haraguchi
Executive Director S L13 3
Comm.HQ
