Ka'u Community Dev. Plan

Aloha e,
Ka’u Community Development Plan charrette began today. The flyer announcing this event is attached with details. However, the website listed on the flyer is not correct.

More information can be obtained at

Unfortunately, this charrette has not been designed to encourage public participation as the events are taking place primarily during normal working hours.

Given that the recet Honokohau Village charrette was facilitated by the same consultant, Placemakers, and followed this same exact format with little public notice, it now appears that this is the new way for consultants, those who are paying them, and those who have large financial interests to further disenfranchise the average resident of Hawai’i island in favor of special interests.
