I am honored and proud to share with you some great news we just
received concerning a project we are working on.
Holo Holo Kōloa Scenic Byway will be recognized with a Preservation
Commendation from Historic Hawai‘i Foundation at its 2012 Preservation Honor
Awards ceremony for outstanding efforts in preservation through planning and
designation of the Holo Holo Kōloa Scenic Byway.
This award is being given to Kōloa Community Association, Mālama
Koloa, Po‘ipū Beach Resort Association, HDOT Hawai'i Scenic Byways Program and
Ho‘okuleana LLC.
Holo Holo Kōloa Scenic Byway, recently designated a State Scenic
Byway, is situated in the historic
Old Kōloa Town and runs down and through the Po'ipu Beach resort area
on Kaua‘i’s South Shore.
This region is steeped in history and its various points of interest
tell the stories of Hawaii’s people and its evolving socio-economic past.
Along this corridor are significant historic, archaeological, cultural,
natural, recreational and scenic resources.
Holo Holo Kōloa gives the traveler a look at the historic and
socio-economic evolution of the Hawaiian Islands.
Here many "firsts" took place that ultimately guided this
transformation. This is a corridor with
many stories to tell, under the backdrop of its impressive scenic and natural
beauty.
We have been assisting Holo Holo Kōloa Scenic Byway in the State
designation process, as well as preparing the Corridor Management Plan for the
Scenic Byway.
This is our second Scenic Byway project. We also prepared the Corridor Management Plan
for the Royal Footsteps Along The Kona Coast.
Royal Footsteps also received a Historic Hawai‘i Foundation
Preservation Commendation, as well as an APA-Hawai‘i Environment-Preservation
Award and a Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce Pualu Award for Culture &
Heritage.
