Dear Chair Daniele and Windward Planning Commissioners,
Subject: Testimony in Support of Amend Special Permit No. 1122
Applicant: Hawai'i's Volcano Circus
TMK: 1-2-009: 034; Keekee-Kehena, Puna, Hawaii
I strongly support HVC's request to amend SP #1122. As a nonprofit serving lower Puna,
HVC fosters community development and access to education through the Seaview
Performing Arts Center for Education (SPACE). The proposed amendment will expand
their ability to offer vital programs in arts, culture, disaster preparedness, food security,
economic upliftment, and K-6 education.
SPACE strengthens resilience by building social cohesion—an essential factor in recovery
from isolation and disaster. It also provides much-needed economic and educational
opportunities in an underserved area.
Please approve the amendment to SP #1122.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Angela Sugar
