			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-163" title="lanai" src="http://www.mauigoodness.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/lanai.jpg" alt="lanai" width="202" height="282" />The island of Lanai is likely moving into a new phase of housing development.  The county has proposed a project for over 400 new homes in a $23 million affordable housing development to be completed over the next 17 years.</p>
<p>The housing development would be built over 73 acres behind Lanai High School and the Elementary.  Along with the housing, area would be set aside for more empty lots as well as 2 parks and a full community center.</p>
<p>The county will be looking to process the project on a fast track set up to allow exemptions from community plan amendments and change-of-zoning processes.  Being affordable housing will allow it to move faster through the system for approval.</p>
<p>But with anything in Maui County, even if everything goes perfectly, we won&#8217;t see construction of new homes anytime in the near future.  Everything takes 100 times as long to process and complete in the state of Hawaii.  That&#8217;s probably why most of Hawaii is still beautiful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-102" title="maui-pineapple-company" src="http://www.mauigoodness.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/maui-pineapple-company.jpg" alt="maui-pineapple-company" width="350" height="300" />Maui Pineapple Company, operated by Maui Land &amp; Pineapple Company, will end all pineapple production in Maui, Hawaii.  Warren Haruki, the Chairman and Interim CEO of ML&amp;P, said that since 2002, Maui Pineapple Company (MPC) has lost $115 million in the businesses as well as $20 million they&#8217;d invested in a new fresh packing facility.  They&#8217;ve been working for a year at making it profitable again but to no avail.</p>
<p>100&#8217;s of employees will be laid off as a century old business is shut down.  Many are worried about what will happen with the 2,000 acres used in the ceased pineapple operations. Though ML&amp;P has expressed that it will be used for other agricultural products, only time will tell whether it&#8217;s really sold for commercial and residential property.</p>
<p>This marks the end of an iconic industry that runs deep in many local families&#8217; roots.  With sugarcane also suffering, it&#8217;s not difficult to imagine what might happen to all of Maui eventually.  Let&#8217;s hope we can keep the central valley green a little longer.</p>

<p>Perhaps induced by the recent anniversary of the original Woodstock, our favorite Aloha sticker company has come out with a whole line of great <a title="Hippie Stickers" href="http://www.hippiestickers.com" target="_blank">Hippie Stickers</a>!</p>
<p>Stuck on Maui has been producing the most authentic Aloha and Tiki Stickers for years, and it&#8217;s great to see them branching out.  Maui is home to many hippies, and we love to see a Maui business building new quality products.</p>
<p>If you live on Maui or in Hawaii, please support our island economy.  If you live on the mainland, don&#8217;t buy your stickers anywhere else!  It&#8217;s hard these days to buy anything that&#8217;s not made, packaged and sold from China.   Support our friends on Maui and spread the Aloha!</p>
