Subject:General plan testimony.
Date:Sunday, November 3, 2024 8:00:18 PM
My name is Kevin Hill. I live Hamakua and am strongly opposed to the current version of the
General plan; which I have expressed in other testimony- and with the process for approvalwherein none of our public testimony will affect the final document.
If we are not able to change it before it goes to the planning commission then I am in favor of
continuing with the 2005 general plan instead. I’m also in support of the testimony of Ken Fujiyama and his emphasis on general agriculture
and incentives to farm. Hemp and other specialty crops should also be grown. It’s anothertopic but Land is for people not corporations. Long term leases (99 years) should be
considered for lands claimed by the State or County. I am opposed to the general plan 2045 and propose reinstating and implementing the goals set
forth in the 2005 general plan.
Thank you and may the life of this land perpetuate by our conscience driven choices.
SincerelyKevin
