As chair of the Maui County Council’s Water and Infrastructure Committee, I was energized by hosting a community town hall last month. Here are a few updates
The lottery will determine which successful applicants will secure one of the new housing units at the project site, which is planned for construction at the corner of Kaiola Place and ʻOhukai Road, a few blocks mauka from Mai Poina ‘Oe Ia’u and Kalepolepo Beach Park.
The infilled neighborhood will consist of 100% owner occupied workforce housing units exclusively for local residents and all created with sustainable design and construction. The development itself will consist of 40 duplexes across three acres of land.

On the heels of a Maui County Council-backed workforce housing project in Kihei, local construction company Betsill Brothers is planning another 100 percent affordable development, this time in Wailuku.
A $66-million, 204-unit development is slated for nearly 15 acres off the mauka end of Kuikahi Drive in Wailuku. Designed as a mixed neighborhood, the project will comprise single-family, duplex, multifamily, live-work and tiny home units. A draft environmental assessment will be submitted in the next few months, and the project is about two to three years from having homes available, according to Doyle Betsill, Alaula Builders LLC president.
