COMMUNITY VISION

Supporters

In February 2022, Maui County launched “MAUI NUI FIRST,” a community-wide, collaborative effort to support our small businesses on Maui, Moloka‘i and Lana‘i. The purpose of Maui Nui First is to strengthen our islands’ economy by encouraging residents and visitors to think, support, and buy from local businesses FIRST.

The Maui Nui First program is coordinated and supported by the County of Maui Office of Economic Development.

We extend a big mahalo to the following supporters:
