Governor Abercrombie announced today the release of more than $13M in CIP funds for NELHA. Funds will provide for the construction of a frontage road, a surface sea water connector and renovation of the Administration building.

“A successful test-bed for applied research, demonstration, testing and evaluation, NELHA is a driver of innovation, economic development, and job creation on the Big Island and for our entire state,” Gov. Abercrombie said. “Investments in these and other facilities and programs will further opportunities to advance our energy sustainability, diversify our economy, and keep us on course toward long-term economic viability.”
