UPDATE AS OF Feb 5, 2018:  PSD received approx. 280 written comments concerning the draft EIS and our community is waiting on release of the final EIS.  Our understanding is that nothing has changed with the Governor's position that the Animal Quarantine Facility in Halawa remains the preferred location, although there continues to be resistance from many segments of society to the concept of even building a large Jail facility anywhere, without more consideration being given to overall justice reform.  Your efforts to oppose the siting of a new Jail in our neighborhood are appreciated.

"Newsletter Volume 18 provides a cross-section of the most common questions and comments provided by individuals, organizations and agencies and offers answers that represent State of Hawaii and PSD positions and currently available project information...
 
Q23: The Mililani Technology Park is not a viable option for the next OCCC.  Mililani Tech Park is not a suitable site and should be removed from further consideration.
​PSD Answer:  The rationale for including the Mililani Technology Park among the four OCCC site alternatives is provided in the Draft EIS which also identified the Animal Quarantine Station site as the preferred location for OCCC development.  Although the proposed Mililani Technology Park site will not be removed as an alternative location, it is the lowest ranked site among the four alternative locations for OCCC development."
