Hamoa/Haneo land acquisition from Open Space Fund ($3M request)
Maui County
Summary
Residents and nonprofits are asking for $3 million from the county's Open Space Fund to buy about 115 acres at Hamoa/Haneo before Ranch Partners LLC can consolidate-resubdivide it into seven five-acre luxury lots — eliminating Kuleana parcels in the process. A legal appeal is pending, a willing-seller letter exists, and an appraisal came in at $3.5 million, with $600,000 in state Legacy Land matching funds just approved.
