A state agency is looking to transform the lot across from the Maui Beach Hotel into a civic center with affordable housing units, a community center, government offices and the potential new home of the Kahului Public Library.
The Kahului Civic Center Mixed-Use Complex would be located at 153 West Kaahumanu Ave. on about 5.6 acres, including the 0.85 acres dedicated for the new Maui County bus hub, according to the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.
