Representative David A. Tarnas
Honolulu, HawaiĘ»i – Governor David Ige has released $1.9
million in Capital Improvement Project funds to buy a 1.750-acre parcel for a
new Waikoloa Public Library.
"I am very grateful to the Governor for releasing these
funds to purchase the land where the future Waikoloa Public Library will be
built," said Representative David A. Tarnas (North Kona, North Kohala, South Kohala). "The
Waikoloa community has been working on this project for many years, led by the
dedicated volunteers of the Friends of the Library – Waikoloa Region. We
still have much to do and I know the Waikoloa community will continue the hard
work needed for this project to succeed."
Once the parcel is purchased by the state, the Department of
Land and Natural Resources is required to prepare an Environmental Assessment
for the project and the public will have the opportunity to submit
comments. After that, the project will start its design phase during
which the community can provide their advice about what should be included in
the facility.
"This will be more than just a library," said Rep.
Tarnas. "It will be a gathering place for all members of the
community to learn together and build strong bonds which support a healthy
community."
