LAHAINA — Lahaina Restoration Foundation recently distributed the 2009 Lahaina Merchant Handbook to all businesses in Lahaina.

This 11-page booklet contains information important to merchants in historic Lahaina Town. Maps of the County Historic Districts and Lahaina National Historic Landmark boundaries are included.

In addition, there is a section on frequently asked questions, Lahaina’s historic sites and important contact numbers and resources. One of the most popular features of the handbook is the 2009 cruise ship schedule for Lahaina Harbor.

The Lahaina Merchant Handbook is available free to all businesses in Lahaina. Building owners, shopping center managers and realtors are encouraged to pick up several copies to give to potential new business owners.

The Lahaina Merchant Handbook may be obtained by calling LRF at 661-3262. The publication of the booklet was made possible through the Malama Lahaina program funded by the county Office of Economic Development.
