    MILILANI TECHNOLOGY PARK UPDATE
    The Mililani Technology Park continues to have increased activity and presence in the community. The State Farm Claims Center had its grand opening on September 4, 1996, which was well attended by State Farm executives and public officials. In addition to the State Farm Claims Center, the State Farm Agency Field Office, a support office for the many sales offices on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island, renovated and moved into 2,000 square feet of brand new office space at the Leilehua Building.
    The Inter-National Research Institute (INRI) renewed its existing lease and headed by Lee Whitt, continues to do well in the government contracting business of command and control systems.
    We welcome BBN Corporation as our newest business at the Leilehua Building. BBN is a publicly traded NYSE firm specializing in Internet services and telecommunications systems and solutions. Last year, BBN had assets of over $249,337,000. BBN's primary business in Hawaii is serving the Department of Defense.
    The Watchtower Educational Center - Pacific, a 53,000-square-foot conference and training center, is slated for completion in March of 1997.
    Many of you may not know that Oceanic Cablevision is launching a new Internet division. They are gearing up for the next generation of modems called cable-modems, which operate at many times the speed of standard telephone modems. Cable-modems are economical to use and Oceanic, with its island-wide network of fiber-optic cable, is well positioned to take advantage of this technology.
    Castle and Cooke remains committed to developing MTP. Unlike most business parks in Hawaii, MTP is fee simple. MTP is unique because of the climate, location and design guidelines. For example, the temperature is 6 to 8 degrees cooler than other downtown Honolulu locations. Employees, especially those who live in the area, can save 2 hours per day commuting to work. This means more time at the office or with family, and less stress.
    - Gregg Matsuura, Project Manager

    MTP COMPANIES IN THE NEWS...
    · The High Technology Development Corporation and SETS Technology, Inc. were two of three Hawaii companies to receive the Tibbetts Award from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Small Business Innovation and Research Program. The businesses were among 70 companies recognized nationwide for excellence in high technology.
    · Hatim Tybji, VeriFone, Inc.'s chairman and chief executive officer, was the featured speaker at the first seminar of the Hawaii Technology Council in July, 1996.

    MTP WELCOMES TWO STATE FARM FACILITIES

The new 2,000-square-foot office houses the agency field personnel that services agents on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island.

    again I asked this a week ago?

  • LDH
    LDH

    Well, I'm glad to see all the money I donated being invested wisely!

    Since Jesus counseled that we would always have the poor with us, I think it's GREAT that the WBTS does nothing to help them and instead continues to increase their holdings!

    Wonderful news!

    Thanks, MacHislopp!

    : So, is it just an assembly hall?

    Assembly Hall = Profit Center

    Profit Center = Any activity conducted by the WTS (see also "Assembly Hall")

    Kingdom Hall (see Profit Center)

    Patterson Resort Complex = "Bringing Glory to Jehovah Through Wise Use of Profit Centers"

    You get the picture. :)
