Honolulu, Hawaiʻi – The Governor recently released $14,500,000 in capital improvement project funding to finance the design and construction of improvements to facilities at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.
“I'd like to thank Governor Green for releasing funding to finance design and construction plans for improvements to facilities at UH Hilo," said Senator Lorraine R. Inouye (District 1 – Hilo, Paukaʻa, Papaikou, Pepeʻekeo). “The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo is a pillar of the Hilo community and improving its facilities will go a long way to improve the campus experience for students, faculty, and staff. Improving the learning environment at our colleges improves the standard of higher education in our state. The University of Hawaiʻi system does so much for our State and its campuses throughout the state, it's imperative that we continue to adequately fund and provide the necessary resources for it to continue its mission to serve the public by creating, preserving, and transmitting knowledge in a multi-cultural environment."
