Public Hearing For Molokai Island Plan

Posted on by

A public hearing is planned for tomorrow, Friday November 16th, regarding the proposed revised bill for Molokai Island Community. The hearing will start at 5:00 pm at the Kaunakakai Elementary School Cafeteria.

A new an updated version of the plan has been undergoing a rather lengthy review since 2014. The last community plan was done in 2001. Community plans are supposed to be updated every ten years. Points under review for the new plan include changing the document name to “Molokai Island Community Plan”,  addressing climate concerns, and maintaining Molokai’s rural character and traditional Hawaiian living.

Those who wish to view the updated plan and the bill can do so on the Maui County Government page. You can also pick up a copy during business hours at the Office of The County Clerk on the 7th floor, or at the Molokai County District Office.
