Revitalizing Kahului

It is encouraging to see Kahului town being revitalized.

The Kulanaa'o campus apartments for Maui Community College students and the A&B Residences at Aina O Kane are great examples of the type of development Maui needs presently and in the future.

These projects are close to existing infrastructure, employment opportunities, educational and recreation facilities. This type of pedestrian-friendly environment will encourage walking, biking and the use of public transportation.

In fact, it has been estimated that the average working couple can save up to $1,000 per month when housing is in close proximity to employment and schools!

Our community will enjoy better health and more time with our families when these mixed-use projects are built within existing urban growth boundaries. Mahalo to all those involved.
