Pahoa Transit Hub and Library

The comment period for the Draft Environmental Assessment is now closed! Our team is currently going through the comments we recieved and incorporating them into the Final Environmental Assessment. Mahalo nui for sharing your feedback and joining us throughout this process!

The County of Hawai‘i Mass Transit Agency and Hawai‘i State Public Library System propose to construct a transit hub and public library with a variety of civic services and community amenities in Pāhoa Village. This would include a mass transit facility and a library with a broad range of community programs and services. There would also be sufficient space to include a day care center and other facilities to accommodate community needs, provide learning resources, and create a gathering space for the surrounding Puna community.

Please review and comment right here on this interactive web page. Comments are due by May 1, 2024.
