The UHCDC is supporting the Hawaiʻi Farmers Union United (HFUU) - Hāna Chapter to advance a long-standing initiative in developing a food hub for East Maui. UHCDC gathered and compiled relevant project information, developed a site selection decision-making matrix, engaged stakeholders, and crafted a proof of concept program and site design.
The purpose of the proposed facility is to serve as: 1) a shared-use certified commercial kitchen; 2) an agricultural aggregation and processing facility; and 3) a space to support educational programming.
The proof-of-concept design is intended to inform future conversations and funding requests. For more information about the project and to download the report, please visit www.engagehawaii.org.
