URGING THE STADIUM AUTHORITY TO FINALIZE A CONTRACT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW ALOHA STADIUM AND TO CONTINUE ITS EFFORTS IN EARNEST TO CREATE THE NEW ALOHA STADIUM ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT.

SCR 65 is a non-binding Senate Concurrent Resolution urging the Hawaii Stadium Authority to finalize a contract for constructing the new Aloha Stadium and to advance work on the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District (NASED). It does not create new law but formally encourages the Authority to complete these steps, referencing the project's completion of environmental reviews and selection of a preferred developer. The resolution highlights the project’s planned features: a new 25,000-seat stadium, mixed-use development (housing, retail, hotels), and alignment with economic and community benefits. It emphasizes the project’s readiness for construction after years of planning, environmental studies, and community engagement. The resolution has no legal effect but serves as a legislative recommendation to accelerate the stadium and district development.
