Federal Projects and Procurement Process
The U.S. Congress has reached agreement on an economic stimulus package: the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Though details are still being finalized and are subject to change, Hawaii is currently slated to receive $678 million in formula-based funding for highway and transit, education and social services, housing and environment. Plus, the state is eligible for additional spending on federal facility construction and upgrades, flood prevention programs, airport and harbor infrastructure, energy infrastructure and other areas.
 April 17 - The State of Hawaii, together with the four counties, will receive $246 million in
federal stimulus funds to improve transportation infrastructure statewide. Gov. Linda Lingle
and State Transportation Director Brennon Morioka today released a list of state and county
projects that will move forward using the federal funds made available through the ARRA.
We'll post additional information as details become available.
