The County of Hawai‘i Mass Transit Agency (MTA), Planning Department, and Hawai‘i State Public Library System (HSPLS) are inviting the public to provide input on final site selection and planning for a proposed transit hub and co-located library in Pāhoa Town.
The transit hub and library are intended to support comfort and safety for transit riders and promote other multi-modal uses such as walking and biking in addition to providing amenities and gathering spaces for the greater Pāhoa community.
A pop-up event will be held this weekend in addition to a community meeting next week. These events will allow information sharing and gather community input on the location and desired features of the transit hub and library.
Further information on these events can be found below:
