Senate President Ronald D. Kouchi (D-Kaua‘i, Ni‘ihau) announces that Governor David Y. Ige has released funding for two major Capital Improvement Projects related to the Lihu‘e Airport on Kaua‘i.
A total of $6.7 million will be used to finance additional land acquisition costs at the airport, along with construction costs for the ticket lobby and hold room improvements.
“I would like to thank Governor Ige for releasing these funds,” Senator Kouchi said. “Working to solve the great challenges during this difficult time and funding projects such as these are important and contribute to building a better home for our kupuna, keiki and all the residents of Hawai‘i.”
