The County of Hawaii has submitted a list of road, sewer, transit and other projects to the federal government for funding under President-elect Barack Obama’s proposed economic stimulus package.
The projects, worth an estimated $487.1 million, would create nearly 3,000 construction jobs in Hawaii County if all are funded.

Ten million dollars is being requested to improve safety and reduce traffic congestion by widening Mamalahoa Highway at the Kamamalu intersection.
