OCTOBER 28 - BLNR HEARING RE: CONTESTED CASE REQUEST

BLNR MEETING TO CONSIDER PARADISE PARK'S CONTESTED CASE REQUEST 
9:00AM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28 at 1115 Punchbowl Street Room 132 
https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/K-1.pdf

ARRIVE EARLY AND SIGN IN TO MOVE UP THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA! 

Talking Points: 
  • We support the Staff's recommendation to deny Paradise Park's request for a contested case. 
  • Paradise Park's proposal to redevelop and reopen as a commercial cultural theme park drawing up to 430,000 people annually is an inappropriate use of the conservation district
  • No environmental assessment has ever been conducted for the full-scale tourist operation 
  • The project is inconsistent with the purposes of the conservation district and the surrounding community
