Community Quote from Long-Term Planning Recovery Survey
Project Description and Purpose
This project involves the creation of a Lahaina Memorial that honors the lives of loved ones lost and the experiences of survivors and community members. The Lahaina Memorial will serve as a healing space for the community to gather, remember and reflect. Planning for the memorial will heavily involve community members and survivors and also serve as a healing process for the community. The location choice and design of the memorial will be community-led to ensure that the space properly honors those lost and serves as an appropriate long-term space for the community.
