Molokai, Hawaii's sleepiest major island, is getting sleepier. Molokai Ranch, a lodging and recreational hub, was expected to shut down its facilities this weekend. [Apr. 5-6, 2008]
Two employees, who declined to be identified, said last week that the Lodge at Molokai Ranch, the Beach Village "tentalows" and the Kaluakoi Golf Course would close Saturday. Ranch officials could not be reached for comment.
But in a news release last month, Peter Nicholas, chief executive of Molokai Properties Ltd., blamed the shutdowns on "unacceptable delays" caused by local opposition to a master plan for the company's land, which included a proposal to build luxury homes. He said public access to Molokai Properties' 60,000-plus acres would be closed "indefinitely."
