About Focus Maui Nui
In summer 2003, Focus Maui Nui brought together a diverse cross-section of nearly 1,700 residents to discuss their values and priorities. Over three months, 167 small group discussions took place in neighborhood homes, churches, shopping centers and workplaces, with each group ultimately developing a list of key strategies that could shape Maui’s future.
The Five Key Strategies for Action included:
- Improve Education
- Protect the natural environment, including our water resources
- Address infrastructure challenges especially housing and transportation
- Adopt targeted economic development strategies
- Preserve local culture and address community health concerns such as substance abuse
Community leaders have pledged to uphold the findings of this process and to make decisions based on the vision that emerges. In 2004, county administrators and planners successfully adopted the findings into their Ten-Year Plan for Maui County.

"We are listening to our community and this year's budget priorities reflect many of the Focus Maui Nui strategies." |
