Maui County Council committee voted to advance a 170-home development proposal on former sugarcane land near Paia, despite existing traffic and parking issues in the already crowded north shore town.
- The development would include 120 single-family homes, 50 multi-family units, commercial businesses, and a medical clinic on 40 acres.
- A 200-stall public parking lot is proposed to address Paia’s current severe parking and traffic congestion problems.
- Construction timeline is 7-10 years away, pending state Land Use Commission review and other approvals.
- The project includes 34 workforce rental units and 16 units for moderate-income households as conditions for approval.
- 300 acres of the 340-acre former Alexander & Baldwin sugarcane land would remain in agriculture.
