KALIHI BUSINESSES INVITE HART TO PROVIDE UPDATE
   
With utility relocation work already underway for the Honolulu Rail Transit Project throughout much of the Dillingham and Kaka'ako areas, the Kalihi Business Association invited HART and contractor Nan, Inc to provide an update for KBA members.

Interim Communications Director Matt Derby also encouraged businesses to sign-up for HART's "Shop and Dine on the Line" Program, a HART-led initiative to help support l ocal businesses in the community and to help them prosper during rail construction.
