Lai’e residents will need to plan for a few changes in the neighborhood in coming months. The Lai’e Chevron gas station will be closing January 14, 2013 with plans to relocate to the L?i’e Shopping Center area.

The closing marks the beginning of the 7-month site cleaning process for gas station facilities, which is necessary to make way for the new L?i’e Hotel. Depending on the final site selection and permitting process, residents can expect at least a year of down time before the opening of the new station.
