Maui lawmakers responded with positive feedback after learning that the governor is releasing $305.5 million for a planned Consolidated Car Rental Facility and roadway improvements at Kahului Airport.
The announcement was made on Monday, with the Kahului funds making up most of a $335 million funding release for capital improvement projects at airports across the state.
Maui Representative Justin Woodson, who represents Kahului, issued a statement saying he and the rest of the Maui delegation have been “working hard to impress upon the governor the longstanding need” for upgrades and “responsible expansion” at the Kahului Airport and car rental facility.
He continued saying he is “grateful that the monies were ultimately released. As part of our statewide system of airports, these improvements to Maui Airport are a critical investment in our visitor industry and in our local economy.”
