Updated on April 15, 2008 Hawaii Standard Time.
Although the economy here and across the country continues to slump, Kapolei is a "growth hot spot" that could help stabilize the state's economy, according to economist Leroy Laney...The region's population will grow from 85,000 now to about 172,000 in 2025, which Laney said would be more than the current populations of Maui or Hawai'i counties. Jobs are expected to nearly triple over the same time to nearly 70,000, he said.
