The improving economic conditions in the <br /> county combined with the rapidly increasing demand for local access to goods and services have <br /> created an urgent situation for Pdhoa. Without these vital pieces of legislation in place, new <br /> development will proceed without the guidelines crucial to maintaining the character and sense of <br /> place of Pdhoa. <br /> Mahalo for your consideration and all the valuable work you do. <br /> Hawai`i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
