Kunia Road Work
We
finally funded much needed improvements to Kunia Road ($1.5 Million) and Kunia
Intersection ($2.25 Million). The
landscaping will continue over the next year.
Soccer Complex
On
Saturday, September 2nd, the Grand Opening of the Waipio Soccer
Complex was held, providing 19 regulation fields, including a lighted 3000-seat
stadium. On opening day, the full size
regulation fields were lined depending on the size of the players, and around
300 games were held that day.
We
have been planning this complex for 6 years and were happy last year to see
construction of the 288.3 acre, $12.5 million complex begin, and that evening
we held a ceremony in the stadium, and after our remarks we had an Olympic
style torch lighting followed by a grand fire works display.
