The word “Stakeholder” used in the plan is very broad and should be changed to “Local Communities” which would include those affected by the decisions, projects and activities of the general plan such as all local homeowners, renters, farmers, businesses, organizations and individuals who live or own property on the Big Island. Local community interests must be considered. Climate Change - This is a very controversial issue. What documentation/proof have you looked at and are you also studying and considering reports from experts who state climate change does not exist? The OSCER Department in the plan will remove public input and leave decisions to unelected officials. This department should not be created. See page 188, 40.8. The General Plan 2045 will change land use from resident to recreation and effectivelyreduce property value and potentially provide an opening to re-zone land. I am against this. I am against the creating of conservation land per this plan. I believe The Big Island couldinstead use the land for agriculture and grow more food.
