The construction industry is the second largest industry in the state and the construction workers are suffering from lack of employment. In the past the private sector of the construction industry in Hawaii repre sented 70'Yo of the construction done in the state. Now the figures are 70'%1 government 30'%1 private sector. The government can't go on sunporting are second target industry. The private sector of construction must again become a leader in Hawaii's future. This project and the money generated by it will help not only the construction industry but the local small businesses (grocery stores, gas sta tions, clothing stores etc.). We on the Big Island need this project and other projects of quality like it. Si rely, G~ Barron E. Berning Comm. Flle No ZN G kN Rd. Tot pre4°" °d PC P• H . 1 3 1991] Rat, 1h1~ - -
