"August 10 - 5:30pm
Kohala Scenic Byway Public Informational Meeting will be held at the Kohala Elementary and High School Cafeteria. In its first phase, Akoni Pule Highway has completed the task of being named Hawaii Scenic Byway Ke Ala ‘O Kohala – The Way of Kohala. The Highways Division recently approved the nomination prepared by the local committee. If accepted and approved, the proposed byway will run along Akoni Pule Highway, which will keep its name, from Honokoa Gulch near Kawaihae to Pololu Valley. Kohala’s multi-layered history will be the focus of the driving experience. Using the suggestions from the public meeting, the committee will write up the application for state designation of the byway which will include plans for a long-term local byways committee and a management plan to enhance the values chosen by Kohala people. All are welcome to attend to share ideas for decisions yet to be made. Sponsor for the Ke Ala ‘O Kohala byways project is the North Kohala Community Resource Center. For more information about the public meeting or the byways committee contact Scott Bedingfield at 896-9001 or Judy Rogers at 430-5689."
