Maui Fair's Return Grows More Likely Following Recent Committee Meeting
February 5, 2025 - 22:06
Maui may be one step closer to getting its fair back after Tuesday’s committee meeting. On the agenda for Tuesday’s Budget, Finance, and Economic Development Committee was Bill 7, a bill to amend the fiscal year 2025 by increasing carryover and savings from the General Fund by $1,500,000. This financial adjustment aims to bolster funding for various community events, including the highly anticipated Maui Fair.
Committee members expressed enthusiasm for the potential revival of the fair, which has been a cherished tradition in the community. The discussion centered around the importance of the fair for local businesses, cultural exchange, and community spirit.
If approved, the additional funds could facilitate the planning and execution of the fair, which has been missed by many residents. The committee's positive feedback suggests a growing momentum towards not only reinstating the fair but also enhancing its offerings for Maui’s diverse community. The next steps will involve further discussions and approvals to finalize the budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
