Hawai‘i Convention Center seeking $55M to fast-track projects

Hawai‘i Convention Center is requesting another $55 million to fast-track 15 other projects that were already approved as part of the center’s six-year capital improvements plan, or CIP, especially those that address additional leaks outside of the rooftop terrace deck, which have encroached on the parking garage and even from time to time caused flooding at the loading dock.
