Hawaiian Telcom to relocate Kahului base yard
Advertiser Staff
Hawaiian Telcom is moving its Kahului base yard operations from Alamaha Street to nearby Lalo Place next month.The Alamaha Street yard has been home to the company's fleet, warehouse, construction and field operations since 1965. The company's current lease expires on Dec. 31. Several employees have relocated to the company's Wailuku office while the warehouse facility has moved to Eha Place in Wailuku. The rest of the crews will move to the Lalo Place facility. Ogata expects the new yard to be full functioning by Jan. 10.
"We are still here, Maui – we're less than a block away," said Hawaiian Telcom's Maui island Manager Val Ogata. "This base yard has been a landmark in Kahului for decades. At one time, residents used to pay their phone bills here."
