Affordable Housing Project Gets The Go Ahead

Posted on by

Council members voted in favor of 250 affordable housing units to be built within a 670 acre planned community to be located south of Maui Meadows. Moving from the original site in north Kihei should help Honua’ula Partners, the potential builders, to get the project started more quickly than originally anticipated.

Before any of the planned housing building can begin, Honua’ula Partners has a $30 million dollar project to complete first. The widening of Piilani Highway from Kilohana Drive to Wailea Ike Drive. Of the projected 250 affordable housing units, 125 will be ownership units and the remaining 125 will be rental.

The new bridge opened up on Thursday afternoon near Sugar Beach! The new bridge which has been under construction since August showed an immediate impact on lessening traffic.

Those commuters who travel the bridge during high traffic times are relieved that their commute times are finally back to normal!

Congratulations to Baldwin High School on being named the first Blue Zone Project Approved Worksite in Central Maui. For those that are unfamiliar with the Blue Zone Project, the project is a community wide initiative to make healthy choices. More than 80 percent of the employees at Baldwin High School signed a pledge to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Some of the practices that Baldwin High School has implemented include quite office space for downtime and meditation, micro breaks every hour for stretching, and overall practices that promote well-being. These small steps make Maui a healthier, happier place to work and live!

Great job Baldwin High School!
