HILO, Hawaiʻi - As of Monday, June 13, Ikaika Rodenhurst is no longer serving as the Director of the Department of Public Works.

On Tuesday, the County announced leadership changes in the DPW, reporting that – as of Monday, June 13 – Ikaika Rodenhurst no longer serves as the head of the department.
