Hana marketplace gets go-ahead

by Patrick Johnston A $1. 36 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration for the building of the Hiina Village Marketplace was approved last month, opening the door for construction to begin on the 31 -unit commercial center. The marketplace is the brainchild of Bill Chang, president of the Hana-based economic development organization Hina Malailena. He has spent the past six years working with county, state and federal offices to start up the project. Shops in the complex will sell a variety of locally produced items including lau hala products, feather-lei, Hawaiian quilts, and koa wood products. One of the buildings will serve as a seafood restaurant. The market i de igned to promote local artisans and businesses in an environment that reflects the rural lifestyle and cultural heritage of Hiina. "We want to use locally made products," says Bill Chang, president of Hina Malailena, the organization behind the project. "But where we can work it out we'll include others from around the state. A lot depends on the retailers." The marketplace will be a village concept with clusters of kiosk-type buildings, each about 256 square feet. Structures will be wooden, with shingle roofs, rock wall terracing and landscap- ing. Explains Chang, "The landscaping is going to feature plants that are endemic to Hawai'i. What we're going to do is have a self-guided tour describing the plants and how they are grown." Members of Pa Ku'i-a-Iua demonstrate the lua chant E Hea I Ke Kanaka at a reception for Chang, who ran a small art gallery with his wife in Hana health symposium delegates. Photo by Patrick Johnston before getting involved in the marketplace, says the marketplace groundbreaking should be in July and, if all goes as planned, it will have its grand opening in June 1995.
