On Monday, April 11, the County of Hawai‘i’s Disaster Recovery Division and County Council District 4 will host its quarterly Revitalize Puna community activation. The free in person event will be held at Sure Foundation Church located on 16-1592 Pohaku Circle in Puna from 3:30pm – 7:30pm.

The theme of this quarter’s event is “Seeing is Believing.”  The County will share how resident manaʻo has shaped decision-making and project plans. Presentations will 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.
