Public meeting to discuss improving Kauai small boat harbor
By Associated Press
LIHUE, Hawaii (AP) _ The state and the U-S Army Corps of Engineers are holding a public meeting next week to discuss improvements to Kauai's Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor.
The project has stalled after bids came in at twice the projected cost.
But Hawaii Congressman Ed Case says the project is still in the works.
Case says nine (m) million dollars in federal funding has been made available, and he expects an additional three and a-half (m) million dollars to be earmarked for the project.
The federal government is to pay 80 percent of the project's cost, with the state chipping in 20 percent.
The Army and the state plan to discuss alternatives to get the project going at the November first meeting at Waimea High School.
