Come on in. Kauai's economic waters are just fine.
Pool contractor Dave Bice believes that he resides somewhere near the bottom of Kauai's food chain. Since he specializes in high-end residential work, ranging from $75,000 to nearly $200,000 a project, the Kapaa businessman reasons that it takes an awful lot of trickle down before his business starts to see an increase in sales. But instead of being some single-celled organism in the island's economic ecosystem, it is easy to argue that Bice is actually somewhere near the top, an indicator species for the health of the forest, a sort of Spotted Owl of Kauai's economy.
