hi susan,
great article and right on the money!
i just attended the final public meeting for the conversion of the old airport. what a wonderful bunch of ideas for the new park.....all only costing some $40 million. i raised my hand to ask the obvious question....how and where is the money coming from? the answer was rather curt....grants, federal monies, etc. i did not have the opportunity to ask my follow-up question: has someone and/or is someone working on getting these funds now as we are planning this park?
it is my understanding that is already the 4th study, the most recent rumored to cost some $500,000. would not surprise me if the council waited a few years and secured another study. i am particularly interested in a dog park in the kona area. a "potential" dog park is included in the airport park. as far as i'm concerned, i will not live long enough to see anything more than what we have now at the old kona airport, certainly not a dog park.
after becoming involved with this waste of my time project, i feel almost in need of checking out of any further involvement. where, oh where in the world is this bunch of misfits going to find that kind of money? where i come from, if you really want something like this kind of project to come to fruition in ones lifetime, you float a bond issue. has anyone around here ever heard of that?
I AM HIGHLY ANNOYED EVERYTIME I DRIVE DOWN THE NEW HIGHWAY AND SEE ALL THAT GRASS!
grass is watered, fertilized, mowed and thrown away!
i thought we were trying to sell the hawaii islands as a leader in all things GREEN. i guess the morons
in charge see grass as green.
if i could find another planet, i would take a chance and move there!
frustrated,
helga hans
