Whether it is a question of creating housing <br /> stock for ownership or rental, we need to find ways to make it less expensive to build, <br /> rather than more expensive. For that reason, Hawaii County would not consider <br /> requiring sprinklers in residential dwellings, or agricultural or aquacultural buildings. <br /> Res ectfully submitted, <br /> Wil Okabe <br /> Managing Director <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
