WHCC awarded LEED Silver status for its environmentally efficient structures and grounds

The County of Hawai‘i this year entered into Sister City relationships with two cities in the Asia Pacific region which share important economic, cultural, geographic, and energy similarities with Hawai‘i Island. Both are in nations that are APEC member economies.

Representatives from De Luz Chevrolet in October took Mayor Billy Kenoi on a test drive of the Chevrolet Volt, a new electric vehicle that is being considered for addition to the County’s fleet beginning in the first quarter of 2012.

“We are very pleased that OTEC has returned to its rightful place and will be further advanced right here on the Island of Hawaii,” said Mayor Kenoi. “We’ve been actively engaged in trying to attract OTEC back to Hawaii Island, and we hope this is a step in that direction.”
