D&W Group of Companies recently announced its intention to establish a Shell gas station at the Kagman area.<\/p>\n
D&W currently operates Shell stations in Puerto Rico, Dandan, Koblerville, Highway Express and Tire and Lubes in Middle Road Gualo Rai.<\/p>\n
According to John DL. Guerrero, D&W human resources manager, construction of the gas station is expected to begin early next year, and will \u201chopefully\u201d be completed by summer time.<\/p>\n
\u201cConstruction normally takes between three to six months,\u201d he said during an interview Wednesday. \u201cAll we\u2019re waiting for is the approval of the permit from the [Division of Environmental Quality]. But that\u2019s what we really want\u2026to have a station there for the Kagman community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guerrero, who made the announcement along with D&W executive administrator Enoch Lim, said the planning of the project has been in the works since early this year.<\/p>\n
Guerrero said the gas station would prevent Kagman residents from having to travel to other villages \u201cjust to fill a gallon of gas\u201d for mowing the lawn or bush cutting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis would benefit the people of Kagman,\u201d he said. \u201cWe measured the distance between the area and the two nearest gas stations, and it\u2019s five miles going to the north, and four miles going to the Joeten gas station [in San Vicente]. So this would be convenient for Kagman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lim, for his part, said the establishment would also create employment for Kagman residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
