Hawaii County Mayor Kimo Alameda invites the public to a series of community meetings that will provide opportunities for residents across Hawaii Island to speak with senior county leaders and hear updates about projects in their neighborhoods.
The 14 community engagement events will be held from February through June and feature members of the mayor’s executive team and special guests.
Light refreshments will be provided.
“These events are part of our administration’s commitment to foster constructive dialogue with communities across the island and ensure we are creating a county that is responsive to their needs,” Alameda said in a press release. “We encourage residents to attend to stay informed, stay engaged and contribute to shaping the future of our island.”
The 1.5-hour sessions will include an introduction that will address local updates (15 minutes), a Q&A session (45 minutes), and a meet-and-greet with staff members. Below are the locations and dates.
