COUNTY HOSTS IN-PERSON REVITALIZE PUNA ACTIVATION
The County of Hawai‘i’s Disaster Recovery Division and County Council District 4 will host its
quarterly Revitalize Puna community activation on Monday, April 11, 2022. The April event,
which will be held in-person at Sure Foundation Church in Puna, is the fourth activation
convened since the series launched in June 2021.
All residents are invited to this free event. Doors open at 3:30 p.m., and presentations begin at
4:30 p.m. The activation will conclude at 7:30 p.m.
The theme of the fourth Revitalize Puna is “Seeing is Believing”. The County will share how
resident manaʻo has shaped decision-making and project plans. Presentations include County
updates on infrastructure investments such as roads, water, parks, and a report back on Revitalize
Pohoiki, a placemaking plan, and roadmap for the restoration and stewardship of Isaac
Kepo‘okalani Hale Park. In addition, the State Department of Land and Natural Resources will
be on hand to provide a status update on the restoration of the Pohoiki Boat Ramp.
The activation will also feature a Resource Row with information from local nonprofits and
community-led resilience projects residents can get involved in, including Paint Pāhoa Town and
emergency preparedness. In addition, a keiki craft station, plant giveaways, and local food trucks
will be available.
