Hawaii Gov. Ige Wants To Build New Aloha Stadium ‘As Quickly As Possible’….The top candidates for governor say they are likely to follow through with Ige’s new plans.
Gov. David Ige wants to speed up construction of a new Aloha Stadium in Halawa by scrapping a complex public-private partnership in favor of a more streamlined process aimed at building the new stadium.
Ige committed to completing the stadium during an appearance on the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s “Spotlight Hawaii” program Wednesday morning. The newspaper reported Tuesday that Ige’s office told the state agency in charge of developing the site to halt solicitations.
Ige’s plans, whatever they may be, are likely to stay intact even with a new administration coming in January. Lt. Gov. Josh Green, who is running for governor, said he wants to “expedite the new stadium’s completion” if he is elected in November.
