The state’s plan to transform school lunch operations reaches a major milestone later this month.

On Jan. 29, construction begins on a $150 million regional kitchen project in Central Oahu’s Whitmore Village.

The kitchen is expected to open in June 2027 and, once fully operational, is designed to serve up to 60,000 meals a day to more than 80 public schools statewide.

However, officials say the rollout will begin on a smaller scale.
