Than,k you for again addressing an issue of great importance to the economic
well-being of Hawiai 4 i County, the redevelopment of Banyan Drive. I support S,B 29,72,
SDi 2, HD 1 -
As SB 2972,, SD 2, HD1 1 sitates,, Banyani Drive is underuitilized and in disrepair. It
is, the center of tourism in East Hawaii, but it is a Jewel that is q�uite tarnished at the
piresent time,.,
Hawai'i Cou,n�ty has taken the first, steps toward revitaliz,ing, the Banyan Drive
peninisula. The administration, Council, colmm, u nI and Big Island legislators have
found common purpose;, the redevelopment area has been defined- and a conceptual
master plan has been created as a sta,rtinig point. Now fuiinds are needed to, conduct t,ht
environmental impact statements necessary to complete the redevelopment plan and
move forward,.
