HILO, Hawai‘i – Senator Lorraine R. Inouye (District 1 – Hilo, Paukaʻa, Papaikou, Pepeʻekeo) is proud to announce the release of $525,000 in harbor special funds for a crucial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project at Hilo Harbor.
The funding will finance the construction and installation of a new boat lift to service the 25-foot aluminum-hulled Security and Disaster Recovery Vessel stationed at Hilo Harbor.
“This is more than an equipment upgrade – it’s an investment that enhances our harbor’s operational capabilities and strengthens our disaster preparedness,” said Senator Lorraine R. Inouye. “The new lift will allow us to launch our vessel quickly and safely to protect our shores and support our community.”
The boat lift project will be managed by the Department of Transportation’s Harbors Division, with construction set to improve both safety and efficiency for harbor operations.
