While the newspaper can stay at the site for up to a year, Maui News General Manager Jenni DeFouw said the outlet is looking to move out of the space as soon as possible, allowing for a new and modern era for the paper.'We are excited to move into a new space that better suits our needs and is more accessible to our readers and advertisers,' DeFouw said. 'This is an investment in our future that will allow us to focus all of our energy on delivering the content and advertising the greater Maui community expects and deserves.'
On Kaiser's end, the healthcare empire said the acquisition of the new space will help better serve Maui's community.
'This space for expansion supports our growing needs, as well as our commitment to delivering high-quality care to Valley Isle residents and is an investment to ensure we meet our Maui members' healthcare needs for generations to come,' said Hawaiʻi Market President for Kaiser Ed Chan.
