Pay to park in downtown Hilo? Proposed project would help fund area revitalization
Paid parking and other changes could be coming to downtown Hilo under a proposed model for a Business Improvement District.
The County Council Finance Committee next week will consider a bill that would create the Downtown Hilo Business Improvement District, a long-discussed yet often-delayed project that would generate additional funds for services to revitalize a large section of downtown Hilo.
As presented in the proposal, the district would comprise the area bordered by Kamehameha Avenue, Ululani Street, Wailuku Drive and Ponahawai Street, although some properties within that area would be exempt from the district.
