$4.15 million in improvements to the Paauilo Slaughterhouse got the initial OK from the Hawaii County Council’s Finance Committee on Tuesday.
The state funds will be a big plus to agriculture on the Hamakua Coast, says the district’s councilman Dominic Yagong.

The ordinance now moves on to the full council.
