Gov. Linda Lingle has released $795,000 in construction funds to re-roof the Diamond Head Health Center.

This project will include installing a new roof, flashings and insulation; relocating an existing satellite dish; replacing a stand-alone air-conditioning unit that will be impacted by the re-roofing work; and repairing portions of the courtyard where there is rainwater intrusion.

This project will address physical plant issues at the Diamond Head Health Center so that the facility can offer patients and staff a clean, safe and well-kept environment, Lingle said.

Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2009 and be completed in October 2009.
