To Hawaii County Planning Department and Windward Planning Commission:
Please reschedule the Windward Planning Commission General Plan meetings in
January 2025 for public testimony.
There is practically no knowledge of the GP 2045 among Big Island locals, yet it will
change how we ALL live here. As someone already testified, we all get a property taxbill in the mail, so why weren't we sent a letter about the General Plan Meetings,
encouraging public participation? Whenever I ask someone if they heard about the
General Plan 2045, they ALWAYS - 100% of the time answer "No, what is that?"
The public, who you claim to serve, deserves the right to learn about the GP 2045
and give their public testimonies on it, yet you've taken one opportunity away by
cancelling the January 2 & 3 meetings.
If you really work for us, then show us by rescheduling the January meetings.
Do what is right for the benefit of the people not to the benefit of the few.
Mahalo!
