Mayor Roth to host sixth town hall in Laupāhoehoe on Aug. 10

Mayor Mitch Roth is gearing up to hold the sixth town hall of his series, “Sustainable Horizons: Mayor Roth’s Community Impact Check-in,” aimed at providing updates and fostering engagement with communities across Hawaiʻi Island.

The event will take place at the Laupāhohoe Point Gymnasium on Aug. 10, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The town hall series aims to establish a dialogue where residents can stay informed about local initiatives, express their concerns and actively contribute to shaping the future of their respective communities.

The event will begin with Mayor Roth and key cabinet members providing updates on the county’s progress and direction during the first half-hour. These updates will be tailored to provide site-specific information relevant to the Hāmākua community. The remaining hour and a half will be dedicated to a Q&A session, enabling attendees to directly pose questions to department representatives and receive responses from subject matter experts.

Due to reception issues, those unable to attend the in-person event will be able to view the town hall the following day, Aug. 11, on Mayor Roth’s Facebook page (facebook.com/himayormitch) and Nā Leo TV, Channel 55.
