Gov. Linda Lingle has released $863,800 for two projects to repair Hawaii State Hospital's ventilation and air-conditioning equipment and hot-water system, the state said Tuesday in a news release.

The projects are part of the $1.87 billion, public infrastructure construction plan unveiled by Lingle in December to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Progress of all 1,521 projects belonging to the plan can be tracked at www.hawaii.gov/cip .

$561,400 will be used to upgrade and/or replace ventilation and air-conditioning equipment. Lingle previously released $42,600 for the project's design. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2009 and be completed in July 2009.

$302,400 will cover improvements to the hospital's hot-water system. Lingle previously released $37,540 for the project's design. Construction is scheduled to begin this month and be completed in July 2009.
