Overview
The Maui County General Plan is a long-term, comprehensive blueprint for the physical, economic, environmental development and cultural identity of the county.

The Countywide Policy Plan
The Countywide Policy Plan provides broad goals, objectives, policies, and implementing actions that portray the desired direction of the County's future. Furthermore, this Countywide Policy Plan will provide the policy framework for the development of the Maui Island Plan and the nine Community Plans.

The Maui Island Plan
The Maui Island Plan will establish a pro-active planning process by establishing urban and rural growth areas that indicate where development is intended and will be supported.  Growth areas will provide for less costly services, reduced commuting, protection of community character and the preservation of agriculture, open space and cultural and natural resources.

It comprises goals, policies, programs and actions which are based on an assessment of current and future needs and available resources.

Once it has been adopted, the document becomes the principal tool for the County and its citizens to use when evaluating public and private projects and their impacts on land use, the economy, environment, infrastructure, and cultural resources.
