Looks like the Big island will get part of the 250 million that comes with the stryker brigade.
"The Army says it can now complete more than $250 million in construction projects blocked by environmentalists and native Hawaiian groups who opposed plans by the Pentagon to station its fifth Stryker brigade combat team in the islands.
These projects would include building private roads from Schofield Barracks to Dillingham Airfield, another one from Schofield to Helemano and from Kawaihae Harbor to the Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island to keep the Stryker vehicles and other troop movements off civilian highways."
