Illustrations for the EnVision Downtown Hilo 2025
Vision Concept available online!
The "Vision Concept" enhances the written EnVision Downtown Hilo 2025 Plan by
providing a visual representation of actions in the plan.
The Vision Concept can be viewed on the EnVision Downtown Hilo 2025 Website:
http: / /co.hawaii.hi.us /edh2025, click on the link to the 5 -Year Action Plan Update. An
online Comment Form accompanies the illustrations.
The Vision Concept is a series of five (5) illustrations that provide a visual rendering of
how Downtown Hilo could look in 2025. Each illustration, hand drawn by local artist
Charles Snyder, represents a particular location in Downtown Hilo. Together, the Vision
Concept represents a "picture of possibility" for Downtown Hilo, with guidance from the
EnVision Downtown Hilo 2025 Vision and Living Action Plan and the implementation of
a variety of strategies and actions.
Currently in draft form, the Vision Concept is designed to inspire dialogue and further
the formation of collaborative partnerships. The public is invited to view the illustrations
and offer feedback to help craft the final Vision Concept.
In addition to the Vision Concept, the County of Hawaii Planning Department is
conducting the 5 -Year Action Plan Update of the EnVision Downtown Hilo 2025 Living
Action Plan. A current draft of the revised Action Plan Matrix is also posted online,
along with a Community Survey.
