Aloha again Action Plan Committee Members,
I am Rebecca Melendez and I forgot to mention in my last email a thought that I presented a while back.
There is a serious parking issue in Kona town and everyone who owns these parking lands seems to be
charging a huge fee to park. There is land for sale at the bottom of Henry Street as commercial land, the
town needs parking. Is there any way to purchase this land before someone else does and make a big,
needed parking lot that you can charge a reasonable fee for?
There is a lot of money to be made in parking because once you build a lot you don't really have to do
much maintenance, and even charging $4 an hour will make you a huge profit because everyone will
want to park in your lot rather than other lots. It will always be a full parking lot and very much
appreciated by the people.
If you do this, it would help the other lots come down in price as well and make for a more better,
courteous place to live.
I'm just trying to bring options to help the parking issue and that land has been for sale for years now.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Melendez
