by Andrea Zander

Hawaii’s state legislature passed a measure that will provide $3.4 billion for the state’s capital improvement projects.

The bill covers fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021 and would provide, according to Big Island Now, almost $275 million for University of Hawaii system construction, maintenance and modernization projects; $617 million for airport and airfield improvements, including $170 million for a new concourse at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport; $384 million for harbor projects; more than $458 million for bridge replacement, repair and maintenance; almost $65 million for repair, maintenance and renovations to buildings under the Hawaii Health System Corp.; almost $1.3 billion for public school construction and maintenance; and almost $36 million for maintenance, repairs and improvements to state buildings.

Once signed by the governor, the General Improvements Act of 2019 will go into effect July 1, 2019.
