LIHUE - Mayor Bernard P. Carvalho Jr. announced the County's plan to reorganize the
Department of Public Works Engineering Division.
“Due to the large number of critical infrastructure projects currently planned, the
contribution of an additional experienced licensed professional engineer is greatly needed to
assist Chief of Engineering Michael Moule and his team in moving these projects forward,”
stated Mayor Carvalho. “I am happy to announce that Troy Tanigawa will be transferring to the
Engineering Division to assist the County with these complex and significant engineering
projects.”
As a licensed Professional Engineer, Tanigawa brings with him 24 years of service to
the County, and combined with his knowledge and training he will be a tremendous asset to the
Engineering Division.
“I am very excited about this new organizational structure and look forward to seeing
these critical projects develop and come to fruition, all in an effort to benefit the residents and
visitors of our community," added Carvalho.
Tanigawa will assist by administering programs, project management, and supervising
engineers and other staff who manage design and construction of complex and major
engineering projects.
