STORY SUMMARY

HILO, Hawaii - The PONC Commission gave approval to a Ho'omalu Ka'u Stewardship Grant Request to take care of the recently purchased Kahua Olohu parcel.

(BIVN) – On Monday, the Hawaii County Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Preservation Commission gave an approval on a Stewardship Grant Request for Hoʻomalu Kaʻū to be applied to recently purchased makahiki grounds.

The 13-acre Kahua Olohu in Kaʻū was purchased using the county’s 2% percent land fund on November 2016.

Commissioners were wary about certain budget items in the non-profit’s plan that would be funded by the grant, however they were swayed by testimony from Jesse Potter of Pōhāhā I Ka Lani, the group granted funding to malama Koaʻekea at the Waipiʻo Lookout property.
