KĪHEI, Hawaiʻi (September 13, 2023)—Councilmember Tom Cook announced today he will be hosting a South Maui community townhall on Sept. 25 at the Kīhei Community Center at 6 p.m.
Cook said the meeting is a collaboration with county departments and other agencies to provide South Maui residents with information regarding fire mitigation efforts, emergency management and impacts to our local economy.
