Free Meals For Qualifying Youth

Posted on by

Good news for students who normally have access to free lunch during the school year. Three Maui County schools, Waihe’e, Wailuku and Kaunakakai elementary will be serving free meals through the Seamless Summer Option. Free meals will be available during the week except on June 11 and July 4th. This program is for children 18 and younger.

Funding for the Seamless Summer Option program is provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The goal is to ensure low income, in need children will still receive a nutritious meal. Parents should call their home school directly to find out what time meal service is.

Other sites providing summer meals in Maui County include Summer PALS, Maui Family YMCA in Wailuku and Maui Food Bank in Wailuku.

Opposition Against Grand Wailea Expansion

Posted on by

Residents spoke out Tuesday against expansion of the Grand Wailea. Residents are concerned over, among other reasons, the potential disturbance of possible ancient burial grounds, and the resident-to-vistor ratio being exceeded. The Grand Wailea has submitted plans to the Maui Planning Commission that would add an additional 224 rooms to the 776 room resort making it the second largest resort on Maui.

Also submitted in the proposal would be a new spa pool at Spa Grande, a new lap pool next to the Wailea Wing, a new family pool next to the Lagoon Wing, increase in the parking garage from 3 levels to 5 levels, and the removal of the Seaside Chapel. Other improvements include facade renovations, a new stairway in the Aqua Tower, renovations to the Hibiscus Pool area, renovations to the luau area, and additional public beach parking stalls.

Estimated cost for the project is $91.5 million with a 5 year estimated timeframe. The resort would remain open during construction. This would be the third renovation for the resort since being developed in 1991. The first taking place in 2008, and the second in 2014.

The plans are still waiting on a final decision by the Maui Planning Commission.
