County of Maui Office of Recovery
The County of Maui’s Lahaina Long-Term Recovery Plan (LTRP) was created through extensive community engagement and serves as the foundation for Maui's long-term recovery from the August 8, 2023 wildfires. Developed through the voices, experiences and priorities of residents, cultural practitioners, businesses, community organizations and partners, the plan reflects a shared vision for rebuilding Lahaina and supporting recovery across Maui County.
A draft of the plan was released in October 2024 and finalized in December 2024.
While the LTRP remains the County’s guiding framework, it is a snapshot in time. Recovery is an ongoing process, and the work continues to evolve as projects advance, conditions change, priorities change and new opportunities emerge.

Hundreds of houses, sites, jobs, monuments, and people were torn/broken from the Lahaina fires last August.
I feel that creating the exact building structures will not create the same feelings that the Old Lahaina town did for everyone, especially for people who lived there. However, I am hoping that replicating the previous monuments, stores, and scenaries will attract visitors from around the world once again as it shows what the Old Lahaina town used to look like. Feelings of distress may arise if locals realize that historic areas of Lahaina were not even attempted to be rebuilt as well.
