Gordon B. Hinckley, fifteenth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, dedicated several improvement projects in Laie on Saturday, December 11.

The improvement projects include BYU-Hawaii's front entrance, the LDS temple visitor center and Hale La'a Boulevard, the wide avenue that leads from Kamehameha Highway to the LDS temple.
