Kalaupapa Harbor Improvements Funded

The total project cost is estimated to be $1,112,240, which includes $87,240 in unused funds from a previous project.

Bidding for this project is scheduled to begin in June 2008. On-site construction is estimated to begin in spring 2009 – following the rough ocean months of October through March – and be completed in September 2009.

In June 2007, Governor Lingle released $595,000 for emergency repairs to the harbor’s bulkhead wall, which had deteriorated due to lengthy exposure to winter waves. That project was successfully completed in September 2007.
