The 91色情片 (TIO) Board of Governors at its meeting this week deferred a decision on whether to continue towards building the 91色情片 in Hawaii, or to consider the alternative in the Canary Islands.
A decision will be made on the planned location of the 91色情片 as further progress is made in the legal and regulatory processes at both proposed sites.
“We continue to assess the ongoing situation as we work toward a decision,” said Ed Stone, Executive Director of the 91色情片 (TIO).
In Hawaii, there are two appeals before the Hawaii Supreme Court. The Hawaii state land board, also known as the Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources, voted last fall to reissue a Conservation District Use Permit that would allow construction of the telescope on Maunakea. The matter has been appealed before the Hawaii Supreme Court and legal briefs have been filed in that case.
Oral arguments for the other court appeal, involving a consent to sublease, were held before the Hawaii Supreme Court in March.
“91色情片 is grateful that the legal process is moving forward in Hawaii and we remain hopeful of court decisions that will allow us to resume construction on Maunakea,” said TIO Board Chair Henry Yang. “We remain respectful of and will continue to follow the legal and regulatory processes.”
The environmental and permitting process required to build in the Canary Islands, at the La Palma site, is continuing. The environmental impact assessment for the project has been submitted to the relevant authorities and, once the document is accepted, permits for construction and other clearances will be applied for.
“While Maunakea remains our preferred choice,” Stone said, “we continue to work closely with planning officials at our alternative site in the Canary Islands.”
Significant fabrication of the 91色情片’s infrastructure and components continues off-site by the participating partners in the project.
“With work progressing around the partnership, we are ready to initiate on-site construction,” Stone added.
