Some locals say it's too soon to reopen as the community continues mourning the loss of loved ones and their homes and businesses.

Tourists can start returning to West Maui on Sunday, two months after devastating wildfires ripped through the region.

The Maui City Council unanimously voted on a resolution Friday urging Governor Josh Green to postpone the opening."I know we are still grieving, and it feels too soon. But the reality is there are those in our community who are ready to get back to work. Bills need to be paid, keiki have needs, and our kupuna face continued medical care,” Bissen said, using Hawaiian words for children and elders, according to The Associated Press.
