Dear Chairs Kahele, Nishihara, and Members:
RE: SB 1247
Thank you for this opportunity to testify in support of SB 1247.
While the County would not be in a position to assist financially, the idea of
ascertaining the feasibility and benefits of establishing a small satellite launch and
processing facility in the State is a positive one. As a former Civil Defense
administrator, I simply would want to assure that such a study take into account the
geologic and seismic conditions that could impact such a facility in our islands.
Respectfully submitted,
Harry
Mayor
