TOGETHER WE'RE BUILDING A
SUSTAINABLE HAWAIʻI ISLAND
WE'VE COME A LONG WAY TOGETHER
JUST LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED
$22M
When COVID-19 threatened small businesses nationwide, we partnered with local credit unions to distribute $22 million in emergency CARES funds to help businesses to keep their doors open and lights on.
5,767
When there were just over 1,000 affordable housing units in the County pipeline, we worked with developers, non-profit organizations and other community partners to add 5,676 units to the housing pipeline.
$4.2M
When there was only $450,000 budgeted to maintain 300+ Parks facilities, we worked with our Finance Department to allocate $2.2 million to ensure that our parks are preserved for generations to come.
7,800
When housing insecurity was at an all-time high, we worked to distribute over $23 million to help more than 7,800 Hawai‘i Island children and adults prevent eviction, utility shutoffs, and homelessness.
$100M
When years of neglect led the Hilo Waste Water Treatment Plant to the brink of an environmental catastrophe, we doubled down and invested $100 million in its renovations and repairs.
$25M
When public transportation became a necessity for our working class, we expanded our routes, secured a $25 million grant for new transit hubs in Kona and Pāhoa, and made service FREE for all our residents.
YET WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO DO
Permitting
We're continuing to work on streamling the building permitting process.
