Stores stay open despite paving

Waimea Center on Mamalahoa Highway began repaving its parking lot Sunday, KTA officials said. The parking lot work is expected to continue through November.

All shops and vendors will remain open during their regular business hours and continue with business as usual. The repaving will be done mostly at night, but will need a day’s time for the asphalt to cure.

The center will post extra security as needed during this process, officials said.
