The Maui County Office of Recovery is planning to host a workshop for commercial property owners who lost property in Lahaina during the 2023 Maui wildfires from 3 to 5 p.m. Feb. 10 inside Morgado Hall at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in Kahului.

The workshop is designed to help business owners navigate the county’s permitting process and connect with key resources to support commercial rebuilding efforts.

“The community’s input over the past several months has been absolutely essential in shaping how we move forward together,” County Office of Recovery Administrator John Smith said in a statement. “Because of that collaboration, we’ve been able to develop clear design guidelines and recovery directives that will help projects move through review more efficiently. This workshop is about putting those tools directly into the hands of business owners.”

The workshop will provide information for commercial property owners and business operators, including:

• An overview of the Rebuild Lahaina Plan and its implications for commercial properties.

• A summary of key feedback gathered during summer and fall 2025 community outreach efforts.

• Details on the Lahaina Commercial Architecture and Design Guidelines, which consolidate existing guidance and are intended to streamline Cultural Resources Commission review for projects within Lahaina Historic Districts 1 and 2.

• Updates on Lahaina Small Boat Harbor access and infrastructure status.

• A step-by-step walkthrough of the 4Leaf electronic building permit process.

• A briefing on emergency proclamations and recovery directives related to commercial rebuilds.

• Information on ongoing efforts to develop a comprehensive Mobility and Streets Plan and Front Street design concepts.
