(Kailua-Kona-AP) -- A Hilo company is offering about 800 acres of land to the public in a lottery tomorrow.
First crack will go to people who may have once worked the land that belonged to the Big Island's last sugar plantation.
The lottery for the former C. Brewer property in Pahala is a nonbinding reservation system. It allows purchasers to buy the land in parcels of five acres to 20 acres for seven-thousand dollars per acre.
Hawaiian Island Homes says the lottery will give first choice to Pahala residents who may have once worked the land for Ka`u Agribusiness.
Hawaiian Island Homes has a contract with C. Brewer to purchase the property. It will go to the county for necessary approvals once the reservation system is complete.
