Communal hall at Kaua‘i Veterans Cemetery closed for repairs starting
Monday, Nov. 27
HANAPĒPĒ – Department of Parks and Recreation officials announced that
improvements to the Kaua‘i Veterans Cemetery Communal Hall will begin on Monday, Nov. 27.
During construction, the hall will be closed and access to the columbarium on site may
be limited. However, the cemetery will remain accessible.
The public may continue to arrange for services on site, in the maintenance building,
through the State Office of Veterans’ Services.
The project’s scope of work includes: replacing all doors and windows, repairing tiles
and the entire roof, replacing the entire electrical system, and concrete repairs to existing slabs-
on-grade, benches and pedestals, and steel post base collars.
Work is expected to be completed by April 2018.
The Hawai‘i State Legislature appropriated $1.1 million for this project. Pacific Blue
Construction LLC was awarded the contract.
“We know that many people have been waiting for this project to become a reality,”
stated Director of Parks and Recreation Lenny Rapozo. “With these improvements we honor our
veterans and their families, and we look forward to seeing the facility become a better place for
people to reflect, heal and find peace with loved ones.”
