The current debate over sustainable development has raised questions about the
mission of Maui Tomorrow Foundation. For nearly two decades we’ve worked in
partnership with many community groups on issues vital to Maui’s quality of life.
MAKENA
The creation of a 155 acre beach park at Puu Ola‘i/Makena, a site where luxury condos
once were planned, is just one example of these combined community efforts.
HAWEA POINT
When a large luxury estate was proposed at Hawea Point, Maui Tomorrow joined with West Maui citizen groups to protect the two acre area. Today Hawea Point is open for public use, fishing, and recreational access.
KAMAOLE POINT
Without timely legal intervention by Maui Tomorrow, Kamaole
Point in Kihei would now be a private development.
HANA TOWN
When a golf course was proposed for their town, the Hana Community
Association joined forces with Maui Tomorrow and filed for legal intervention.
INVASIVE SPECIES
Maui Tomorrow advocated, as part of a coalition of community groups, for an
airport freight inspection facility at Kahului, to prevent unwanted pests from
entering our island.
EAST MAUI STREAM FLOW
Today we are working with the residents of Keanae, Wailuanui and
Huelo to see flows restored to East Maui’s historic streams so that
traditional agriculture can continue.
WEST MAUI STREAM FLOW
We are allied with Hui o Na Wai ‘Eha, OHA, Maui County and others,
working to ensure the restoration of natural flows to streams from
Waikapu to Waihe‘e.
WAILUKU HEIGHTS
Alongside the Wailuku Forest Preservation Coalition, Maui Tomorrow aims to
forestall risky development in the steep slopes above Wailuku Heights.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
We were the first to call for a non-profit land trust as well as an
affordable housing land trust. Both have now been established on Maui.
We are proud to be one of the many voices in our community speaking out for planning that delivers real benefits for Maui’s families and respects our natural and cultural resources.
Do we challenge the easy answers our leaders often hear from paid consultants?
YES, WE DO.
