Mr. Alex Roy,

Aloha Alex,
The Historic Honokaa Town Project (HHTP) wishes to support the establishment of a Special
Design District for Honokaa's Mamane Street.
As you know over the past six years,the HTTP has been engaged in the Honokaa community
while conducting historic research on the town, providing economic support to restore
buildings and placing structures on both the Hawaii and National Registers of Historic Places.
Promoting Honokaa's unique cultural heritage both reinforces a sense of community identity
and creates new employment opportunities.
Design guidelines could ensure that new construction in Honokaa would be architecturally
compatible with the existing Plantation Era buildings. Doing so will do much to maintain "a
sense of place"while not interfering with the commercial or residential use of properties. Thus,
the Historic Honokaa Town Project supports design guidelines for the town.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me through any of the media below:
Mahalo nui loa,
