The project formally called the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District was previously broken into two contracts. One focused on building the stadium, and another on the surrounding real estate. Now, the project will fall under one integrated public-private partnership, or P3, project.
Honolulu's Department of Planning and Permitting is hosting a community meeting Tuesday evening in Hālawa. HPR's Casey Harlow explains the proposed zoning changes, as part of the area's transit-oriented development plan.
The new governor has an intriguing idea for refocusing the Aloha Stadium redevelopment, putting the immediate focus on rebuilding the stadium itself and on front-loading the financing with $400 million in state funding to get it built.
The state’s most recent estimate would see the stadium completed in time for the 2027 football season, but now that’s at risk with the new delay in the RFP process.
