Restoration funds secured to help rebuild iconic Lahaina buildings
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – U.S. Senator Brian Schatz announced that Hawaii will receive nearly $9.8 million dollars in new federal funding from FEMA to support ongoing recovery efforts on Maui.
The funding will help Lahaina rebuild the Waiola Church, Hale Aloha Museum, the Old Lahaina Courthouse Building, and the Master’s Reading Room.
“Waiola Church is an important part of Lahaina’s history, heritage, and community,” said Schatz.
“This new funding will help us restore some of Lahaina’s historic buildings and help bring this community back.”
In December, Schatz secured an estimated $1.6 billion dollars in funding for a survivor housing project.
