WAILUKU, Hawaii (AP) - A Hawaii company has sold more than 330 acres of former sugar cane land on Maui for nearly $10 million to a California businessman.



Alexander & Baldwin turned the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. property over to EC Paia LLC in December, when the sugar plantation shuttered its operations.



Sam Hirbod heads EC Paia and says there are no firm plans yet for the land, which is zoned for agricultural use.



Alexander & Baldwin spokesman Darren Pai says the company decided to sell the property after determining its "diversified agricultural plan" wouldn't be negatively impacted by the move.



County officials say Hirbod could seek to have the property zoned for other uses, but some residents have expressed concern about major development on the land.



Hirbod says his company has developed housing and commercial projects.
