Kalapana to Pohoiki Community Input Survey
Presented by the Steering hui of the Kalapana-Pohoiki Neighborhoods Organization (KAPONO).

NOTE: The survey is directed to only those that own or rent along 137 between Kalapana to Pohoiki.

KAPONO Mission Statement: KAPONO is a community-directed organization that welcomes community members from Kalapana to Pohoiki to join together with local government, businesses, organizations, and individuals for the protection and enhancement of the health, heritage and safety of our communities: our homes, our ‘ohana, and our lifestyles.

Goal of Survey – Development of a Long Range Community Plan that gives us a voice in our future

KAPONO first meeting was in July 2011 and now after a year of meetings and hard work, we are organized and excited to present a Community Input Survey. Much of the survey elements are taken from the Puna Community Development Plan** (PCDP), to gain input as to what is important to our community and also guide the priority of implementation.

All responses will be tabulated and presented at a community meeting at the end of September.

Please come and meet July 22, 2-4pm at Uncle Robert’s in Kalapana. — Richard Koob
