Subject: Support for special use permit PL -SPP -2022-000016
To Windward Planning Commission
As a Puna resident, I am writing to support the above application for a special use permit. I believe
we need places like this to not only help build a stronger community but also to create jobs and a
clean local economy based on education and tourism.
I am a frequent visitor using the facilities and urge all that are concerned to visit the center and see
what an inspirational place it is indeed. The gardens/orchards and off -grid infrastructure exemplify
how people can live more closely to the land and a sustainable style that adds to the solution of the
carbon crisis instead of creating more problems.
I understand that HER is sensitive to their neighbors and have initiated conversations and guidelines
to address concerns.
Your approval of this application would be very appreciated,
Margaret Hoku Douglas
