Gov. David Ige on Tuesday announced the release of more than $165 million for capital improvement projects (CIP) to fund critical public infrastructure projects.
Big Island funding includes monies to develop a USDA agricultural inspection station at the Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, as well as improvements to public schools in Hilo and Honoka´a, among other projects.
“The release of these state CIP funds is essential for the long-term health of our state — addressing some of our infrastructure needs and improving the quality of services in our communities,” the governor said. “We will continue to invest in maintaining, rehabilitating and rejuvenating a wide range of public infrastructure, as we work to improve system reliability, advance public safety and enhance recreational experiences.”
