(AP) — Redevelopment of state land surrounding Aloha Stadium could start late next year or early 2023. But there’s still no timetable for replacing the rusting 46-year-old amphitheater. The state Department of Accounting and General Services has published an online request for bidders for the public-private project. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the development could include around 3,300 homes, including affordable housing. It could also have 650 hotel rooms, retail space, offices and at least 4,000 parking spaces. A consultant to state agencies on the redevelopment said it expects a contract with a winning bidder to be signed by September with construction possibly starting soon after that.
