Summary
Front Street in Lahaina is finally getting its first storefronts back—thanks to a $8 million pilot marketplace called ‘Ulu o Lele, set to open this September. Built on the former Outlets of Maui site, it’ll house 17 retail units and 8 food truck spaces, offering subsidized rents to businesses hit hardest by the 2023 wildfire. A joint effort by the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, Hawaii Community Foundation, and Maui County, this temporary hub aims to revive the local economy, restore hope, and anchor residents in their community. With five commercial permits already issued and the Lahaina Harbor reopening, this marks a turning point in Lahaina’s slow but steady recovery—where commerce, culture, and community come together to rebuild for generations.
