KOLOA, from Ted Kawahinehelelani Blake: Dave Zevebergen from the State DOT called on May 16, 2011 with the official word that Hui Malama o Koloa's application for the Holo Holo Koloa Scenic Byway has been accepted for nomination as a designated Hawaii Scenic Byway. The call came a few hours before Malama o Koloa made a Holo Holo Koloa Scenic Byway presentation to the OHA trustees who held their Kauai meeting at King Kaumuali`i Middle School.
We are elated with the news and will now form our Corridor Management Plan team with members from government, business, tourism, development and landowners and the community to join our effort, a requirement for the State designation.
On June 15, 2011 at the Koloa Neighborhood Center, Rob Balmes from the America’s byways resource center and two or three others from the National resource agnecy conducted a four-hour seminar to help us through the Corridor Management Plan and the process. Great opportunity for us. We are fortunate to get this kind of attention, support and help.
I will follow this with more pertinent information after I receive a hard copy of the nomination acceptance letter.
Aloha pumehana...Teddy
