All of West Maui except for burned-out sections of historic Lahaina will reopen to tourism on Nov. 1 following the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than century, the mayor of Maui County said.
Mayor Richard Bissen said Monday he made the move after talking about it with his Lahaina advisory team, the Red Cross and other partners.
Hawaii Gov. Josh Green last month declared West Maui would officially reopen to tourism on Oct. 8 to bring back badly needed jobs and help the economy recover. Bissen modified the governor’s declaration with a phased plan, allowing a small section on the northern edge of West Maui to open first with the rest to follow at an undetermined date.
Bissen said Monday that workers are ready to return to their jobs while acknowledging “this isn’t for everyone.”
