Kona Community Brainstorming Sessions
The Kona Community Development Plan (CDP) is the County of Hawaii?s pilot community development plan. The goal is to make this planning process an inclusive and community-based process.
To encourage community participation, Community Brainstorming Sessions are being held as an opportunity for residents to share their ideas about the future and how they can help to shape the future of Kona. The results of the sessions will be compiled and shared at the first of a series of community workshops to be held in early February 2006.
There will be several opportunities for the public to participate in the small group sessions. The community is encouraged to attend a session in their neighborhood or even host a meeting in their home.
