Read on Kauaʻi Now →Maui coverage centers on county governance, infrastructure, and community programs. The biggest developments are Mayor Bissen’s proposal for $30 million in bond funding to protect Molokaʻi lands and water assets, the county’s report that South Maui wastewater pump station repairs are complete, and the fact that nearly 12,000 Maui County voters have returned ballots.
On Hawaiʻi Island, police are investigating a pedestrian death in Hilo and a desecration case at the Star of the Sea Painted Church in Pāhoa. The island is also part of broader resilience coverage, including Hawaiian Electric’s expanded drone inspections for wildfire safety and a UH Cancer Center grant aimed at statewide cancer care.
Kauaʻi remains focused on recovery and access after Hurricane Lowell, with county updates on cleanup, repairs and emergency food distributions and Alania Road in Po‘ipū closed until further notice. At the same time, Waimea Canyon Lookout is scheduled to reopen Saturday, and a federal defense agency grant will help improve the Kekaha-Waimea water system.
Statewide items include the Hawaiʻi Climate Commission’s CASH4ʻĀina workshops and the UH Cancer Center’s $2.5 million grant to expand cancer care statewide.
