South Maui growth could reach 8,000 units without a funding plan
Maui County
Summary
Dick Mayer's presentation tallied roughly 4,500 already-entitled homes plus about 3,500 the new plan would add — with no unit counts in the plan, no water analysis, and about 50 of 145 cost items listed as 'to be determined.' Testifiers split on whether to cap the plan at what's already approved.

Impact analysis
Of 145 costed plan items, about 50 have no dollar figure and the rest are in 2022 dollars — even as the county budget nearly doubled in five years.
Future residents and developers gain housing capacity if infrastructure and funding keep pace.
Current Kīhei residents could face worsening traffic, water shortages, and higher rates if growth outstrips infrastructure.
