Trending
A construction project that will bring new restrooms to Maui High School suffered a setback this week during an act of vandalism late Aug. 26 or early Aug. 27, according to the state Department of Accounting and General Services.
Concrete walls, columns, pallets of concrete blocks and other areas of the construction site were damaged or demolished. The project will provide new restroom facilities for students and the public.
The project is being built for the state Department of Education and managed by the department.
"Our contractor had been making great progress on this important project for our students and the community," DAGS Director Keith Regan said in a statement. "Now, due to this senseless act of vandalism, we will need to spend additional money and time to fix the damage, order more materials and restart the project."
Anyone with information is being asked to contact the Maui Police Department.
