COMMUNITY INCLUSIVE PROCESS

The communities within Mākena Golf & Beach Club are the result of eight years of dialogue with place-based subject-matter experts and stewards, and various interested members of the Maui community. Through the Maui County public process we've created a plan that recognizes the importance of this place and its people.
