HILO, HAWAI‘I – Senator Lorraine R. Inouye (District 1 – Hilo, Paukaʻa, Papaʻikou,
Pepeʻekeo) has announced that $150,000 in Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Grantin-Aid funds has been released by Governor Josh Green to support the Big Island Resource Conservation and Development Council, Hawaiʻi.
The funding will provide construction support to extend an existing concrete slab and
construct a new metal building as part of a larger CIP project at the Alae Postharvest
Facility in Hilo. This project qualifies as a grant pursuant to Chapter 42F, Hawaiʻi
Revised Statutes, and is funded through general obligation bond funds.
“Thank you to Governor Green and his administration for releasing these funds and for
their continued investment in projects that strengthen local agriculture and community
infrastructure,” said Senator Inouye.
Investments in projects like the Alae Postharvest Facility are essential to maintaining
strong agricultural infrastructure and supporting local producers. These improvements
will help build a more resilient and self-sustaining Hawaiʻi.
