Gov. Green, Stadium Authority issue Request For Proposals to NASED bidders
HONOLULU — With smiles and slaps on the back, key stakeholders announced Thursday that the long-delayed New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District project reached the next step in its rebooted planning period.
Gov. Josh Green held a press conference in his fifth-floor Capitol chambers in which he, Stadium Authority members, state Legislators and University of Hawaii leaders discussed the release of a Request For Proposals document to private bidders, and endeavored to present a united front on the latest version of a planned public-private partnership.
Green said that given the large number of moving parts involved in the vision for the 98-acre Halawa site – between the stadium and housing components, plus various amenities, there are no shortage of issues – the successful execution of the project ultimately falls on his administration.
