Hilo Entertainment Complex Receives Construction Extension and Regulatory Flexibility
What happened
The Windward Planning Commission voted 6-0 to forward a favorable recommendation to the Hawaii County Council regarding amendments for a commercial property in Hilo. This vote granted KBXtreme Hilo LLC a 10-year extension to complete construction on a 5-acre parcel. The approval also relieved the applicants of a 180-day deadline for establishing a water commitment and allowed flexibility in the scope and design of required infrastructure improvements, subject to review by the Department of Public Works.

Why it matters
The project, which is planned as a bowling alley and entertainment complex, is described as a highly-leveraged project with construction costs expected to exceed $10 million. The approval allows the development to proceed in Hilo, which has not had a bowling alley since 2014.
