Gov. Linda Lingle has released $2 million for ongoing rockfall mitigation and slope stabilization improvements to the interior and exterior areas of the Diamond Head State Monument on O'ahu, including at the entrance into the crater and along Diamond Head Road."This project is a critical part of our initiative to ensure the safety of Hawai'i's state parks and facilities and will protect park users and home owners with residences along Diamond Head's exterior slopes," Lingle said in a news release.
Earlier this year, Lingle released $700,000 for this project. Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2008 and be completed in August 2009.
