KAHULUI--The County of Maui Office of Recovery and Department of Planning will hold a neighborhood workshop for Kelawea Mauka residents from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at Lahainaluna High School Cafeteria, 980 Lahainaluna Road.

The workshop is part of community engagement to help shape Lahaina's long-term recovery. The recovery plan will include plans, projects and funding, and will guide recovery in a sustainable and resilient manner, according to a press release from the county.

Doors will open to the public at 2:30 p.m. Food and children's activities will be provided. Due to limited parking, carpooling is highly recommended.

The Kelawea Mauka neighborhood is the general area mauka of Honoapi'ilani Highway below the Lahaina Bypass and between Dickenson Street/Lahainaluna Road and Kahoma Stream.

According to the county, the workshop is an opportunity for county staff to talk with Kelawea Mauka residents about topics specific to the area. The workshop will help ensure that residents are aware of options for their neighborhood and that the county is aware of community preferences and incorporates them into the recovery plan.

The next workshop is scheduled for May 4 for the Wahikuli neighborhood, and more meetings are tentatively set for June 2024. Community meetings will not be livestreamed because they will involve small-group breakout sessions.
