FINAL Environmental Assessment + FONSI
Wailuku Civic Center and Large Parking Structure

Maui County is BOTH proposing this project and determining whether there are impacts.  And they say there are NO SIGNFICANT IMPACTS!  There is NO comment period on a Final EA with a FONSI.

Stemming from the long-standing need to increase public parking in Wailuku and the reWailuku visioning effort for revitalizing Wailuku, the County of Maui proposes to build the Wailuku Civic Complex (WCC) and improve infrastructure and streetscapes along portions of Church and Vineyard Streets in downtown Wailuku. The WCC will be located on a roughly 3-acre site that includes the at-grade municipal parking lot and two adjacent parcels bounded by Church, Vineyard, Market, and Main Streets.

The WCC includes a three-story County building, which will house County offices, hearing and meeting rooms, a third-floor event facility, and leasable ground-level flex space that could include a public market/food hall, and/or museum space for cultural interpretation and art exhibits. At the heart of the WCC, is a landscaped public plaza that will front Vineyard Street. The new four-level parking structure will be tucked in the interior of the lot and the lowest level is split to reduce the amount of grading needed. Pedestrian promenades will provide connections through the core of the block. The project also includes streetscape and infrastructure improvements on Church Street between Main Street and Vineyard Street, as well as on Vineyard Street between High Street and Market Street.
