This resolution urges the Stadium Authority to complete the contract for constructing the new Aloha Stadium and continue developing the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District (NASED) Project. The resolution provides extensive context about the project's importance, highlighting that the current Aloha Stadium is outdated and underutilized, and the new development aims to create a multi-purpose facility and surrounding mixed-use district. The NASED Project, located in Halawa, will include a new multi-use stadium with at least 25,000 seats, potential housing, retail, hotel, and public spaces, strategically positioned near transportation infrastructure. The resolution emphasizes multiple benefits of the project, including job creation, economic growth, support for the University of Hawaii's football program, potential to attract national and international sporting events, and alignment with sustainable development goals. By leveraging private investment and creating a mixed-use development, the project is expected to be financially sustainable and provide significant community and economic advantages. The resolution calls for timely procurement and successful delivery of the project to support Hawaii's economic future, sports culture, and community development.
