You did it!Â
A huge MAHALO to all who testified in support of the cell tower setback from residences and schools in the telecom ordinance for Big Island!Â
Â
The quality and number of testifiers
was amazing!Â
Â
You are incredible! 💪 Â
Â
Bill 24, including the 600' setback and other tower/antenna permit requirements, has been approved by the PCPLUED committee.Â
Â
Is it perfect? No! It can be
tweaked later. Â
Â
Is it better than nothing  - which is what we have now? Yes!Â
Â
So we're not done yet...Â
Â
According to plan, the bill has now been forwarded to the full Hawaii County
Council. There will be two meetings for this bill. We need you to testify at both. Â
Â
Mark Your Calendars!Â
Â
Wednesday, June 4 at 9am
Wednesday, June 18 at 9am
Â
Grab your friends and family and show up at 9am to testify at the start of the meeting in support of Bill 24.Â
Â
We've got to get this thing across the finish line or there are no protections from the wild west of telecom tower invasions!Â
