HONOLULU (AP) Maui Mayor Michael Victorino has vetoed a bill that would have applied stricter regulations to a state program that offers developers incentives to build affordable housing units.
The bill initially would have mandated that at least 75% of the homes in projects developed on Maui, Molokai and Lanai under the state program be affordable to households with incomes near the median, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Wednesday.
Maui councilperson Michael Molina proposed the bill and said developers receive too many benefits for producing too few affordable housing units.
“We’re just asking for more affordable housing,” Molina said earlier this month. “We’re trying to answer the needs of our community.”
