#MLO lease
Hirono, Tokuda, Case introduce resolution recognizing history, contributions, and significance of Maunaloa Observatory
The resolution also commemorates the 69th anniversary of the Maunaloa Observatory and honors the cultural significance of Maunaloa itself to the Native Hawaiian community. The Hawaiʻi lawmakers introduced the resolution after the Trump Administration announced its plans to cancel the lease for several National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) facilities earlier this year, including an office needed to support the MLO.
