Bill > SCR65

This concurrent resolution urges the Stadium Authority to finalize a contract for constructing a new Aloha Stadium and continue developing the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District (NASED). The resolution highlights the importance of this project by noting that the current Aloha Stadium has been underutilized and in need of significant repairs since 2019. The proposed NASED Project involves demolishing the existing stadium and building a new multi-use facility with at least 25,000 seats, along with mixed-use development including housing, retail, and public spaces. The resolution emphasizes the project's potential benefits, such as creating a vibrant community hub, generating economic opportunities, supporting the University of Hawaii's football program, attracting national and international sporting events, and aligning with sustainable development goals. The project is seen as crucial for Hawaii's economic future, sports culture, and community development, with a procurement method that leverages private investment to reduce the financial burden on the state. The resolution calls for the Stadium Authority to complete the contract and continue its earnest efforts to create the entertainment district, and requests that a certified copy be sent to the Stadium Authority Chairperson.
