RE: Review of the Hamakua Community Development Plan
Thank you for providing the Department of Research and Development with an
opportunity to provide comments on the Hamakua Community Development Plan
CDP). The Department has conducted a brief review and is pleased to note the detail in
which the community has identified policies and actions that will support its vision for
the future.
The Department did not find any policies in the CDP that would conflict with existing
County plans to support agriculture, energy or tourism, and since the Department does
not have authority to enforce statutes or codes there are no known related conflicts.
Assuming the Hamakua CDP is adopted as ordinance, the Department looks forward to
actively working with other County departments, as well as State and Federal entities
and the communities and businesses of the Hamakua district,to pursue appropriate
initiatives that will lead to the implementation of the plan.
Again,thank you for the opportunity to provide comments.
