EDH2025 2nd Annual Meeting - Tara Anderson
The second annual, EDH 2025 Hilo Vision Keeper’s Town Meeting, occurred on Sept. 30th, 2008, at the Palace Theater. The town meeting started with a presentation of booths inside the entrance of the Palace and directly outside. These booths and their representatives asked for ideas from the community and showcased what the present Vision Keepers, and their partners were interested in doing. A discussion was later held in the main theater with Jackie Pualani Johnson, mediating the discussion. The panelists who led the discussion were Genevieve Cain, Sudha Achar, Sig Zane, and Christopher J. Yuen. The goals of the Hilo Vision Keepers, as presented on their powerpoint, were to create economic vitality, preserve our environment, strengthen and make our community sustainable, enhance education, culture, and the arts, promote health and safety, and manage growth, particularly in downtown Hilo.
