(Maui) – The County of Maui Department of Planning has scheduled its kickoff community open house for the update of the West Maui Community Plan. The open house will take place on Saturday, August 26, 2017, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the West Maui Senior Center at 788 Pauoa Street, Lahaina.
The public is invited to drop by anytime to learn about the community planning process, discuss issues affecting West Maui, review maps and information, and meet the project team. Planning Director Will Spence said, “I encourage the West Maui community to stop by. Community input is a critical part of creating a meaningful and effective plan.”
The West Maui Community Plan will guide future growth in West Maui, and is the first of Maui Island’s six regional community plans to be updated since the adoption of the Maui Island Plan in 2012. The existing West Maui Community Plan was adopted in 1996. The update process will involve numerous community meetings and workshops, then the formation of a Community Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) which will review a draft updated plan and provide recommendations. The Maui Planning Commission will then review the draft updated plan, and the Maui County Council will review and adopt the updated plan.
