The second one, which was focused on stadium tenants, vendors, sponsors and neighboring businesses, was held on January 27 and attended by about 50 people. The workshops allowed members of the public and stadium business stakeholders to identify areas of opportunity and concern about the NASED project. Following brief remarks by members of the NASED team, attendees were invited to visit stations set up throughout the room that addressed various topics of interest and concern, including Traffic, Roads and Parking, Site Program and Amenities, Stadium Design and Events, and Environmental and Sustainability.

Approximately 100 interested contractors, developers, architects and engineers from Hawaii, the mainland and other countries, attended NASED’s P3 Industry Day at Aloha Stadium. Attendees heard from WT Partnership’s Adam Shaw, who moderated a presentation about the project. Presenters included Stadium Authority Chairman Ross Yamasaki; Stadium Manager Scott Chan; DAGS’ Public Works Administrator Chris Kinimaka; and Crawford Architects’ Owner and Senior Principal Stacey Jones. The NASED presentation covered a broad range of topics, with information about the project’s schedule, process and commercial structure. The level of interest demonstrated by those in attendance indicated that the project is of keen interest to some very capable firms active in the P3 development industry. Discussions with potential P3 partners have continued since the Industry Day and an RFQ (Request for Qualifications) is scheduled to be sent by the end of the year.

Following the meeting, vendors were invited to stay and visit with NASED representatives.
Approximately 80 people attended the PEIS Scoping Meeting at Aloha Stadium on September 25. This was an opportunity for the public to voice its environmental concerns about the development on the Halawa site.

Topics of interest were: traffic, residential development, recreational opportunities, the Swap Meet, communications and transparency, stadium capacity, and construction and budget.
