Governor Ige’s statement on approval of TMT permit

Posted on Sep 28, 2017 in Featured, Latest Department News, Newsroom, Office of the Governor Press Releases

The Board’s decision today is the latest milestone in what has been a complex journey. I believe Hawai‘i can host a new telescope in the right way, with respect for the values, traditions and culture of the first Hawaiians, and that our island state can be Earth’s eyes into the universe to prepare for a brighter future.

— Governor David Ige
