CDPs are designed to reflect community values, vision, and priorities.  Therefore, the County will work hard to involve community residents and others who have a stake in the region in every step of the planning process, particularly the beginning of the process when core community values and people's vision for the future of Hāmākua are established.  Those values and vision will be identified through small group "talk story" meetings and from a survey.

People who are unable to attend one of the talk story meetings are invited to  complete the survey.  The survey can be downloaded here, or requested from the project manager.

The survey will be available through December 2009.
