The Maui County Office of Recovering has scheduled a series of workshops and open houses, June 24 to 26, to collect community input on the way streets will be designed in the commercial core of Lahaina, including Front Street.

What You Need To Know

  • The series will focus on street connectivity and mobility from Baker Street to Prison Street and from the shoreline to Honoapiilani Highway

“Under current county street and zoning codes, the Lahaina Town that we all remember and love can’t be rebuilt,” Office of Recovery Administrator John Smith said in a release. “The input gathered at these workshops will help us create a plan built on the community’s vision and guide decisions on how we adjust those codes to fit Lahaina.”

The workshops are part of the Rebuild Lahaina Plan, one of 40 projects in the Lahaina Long-Term Recovery Plan. Neighborhood workshops held in 2024 helped shape the LTRP with community voices calling to maintain Lahaina’s unique character while also building back a safer, more resilient town that supports the local community. The events in June will guide the rebuilding of Lahaina’s commercial area with community priorities in mind.
