New Aloha Stadium Development May Finally Move Forward…The state is gathering ideas for development surrounding the stadium as lawmakers move ahead with giving the Stadium Authority more powers.
Construction of the new Aloha Stadium would speed up under a measure the Legislature is expected to pass this week.
The bill, on which lawmakers reached tentative agreement on Friday, would grant the Stadium Authority the ability to hold title to the 90-acre site surrounding the stadium and lead development on those lands in coming years.
The authority is a nine-member board with representatives from the public, private and nonprofit sectors who oversee the stadium’s activities. Under the proposed bill, House Bill 1348, the board would be able to take charge of planning and designing the area, called the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District.
