HILO, Hawaii – Hawaii County Planning Director Duane Kanuha presented a future vision for Banyan Drive to a crowd of business representatives and enthusiasts on Tuesday night.

Two conceptual Banyan Drive redevelopment maps, “Tomorrow, Land Use” and “Tomorrow, Master Plan” (below), have been drawn up and are being presented to the public to gather input. The maps are part of the ongoing work of the Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment Agency, created in April 2016 “to bring about a revitalization and redevelopment of properties along Banyan Drive on the Waiakea peninsula where hotel, resort, commercial and public uses may coexist compatibly.”
