1996
Transition, Tenacity, and Technology
1996 was a year of transition and resilience at NELHA. Despite state budget cuts that reduced staff by one-third, the Authority pressed forward with ambitious infrastructure upgrades, tenant expansion, and bold engineering feats. The year saw deepened collaborations with state and federal partners, the transfer of CEROS (the National Defense Center of Excellence for Research in Ocean Sciences) under NELHA’s umbrella, and a broadened role as a hub for small business and aquaculture ventures. Meanwhile, engineers pushed the boundaries of what was possible at Keāhole Point, driving pipelines under the shoreline with pioneering micro-tunneling technology.
