$4M in upgrades slated for Aloha Stadium

Associated Press

Aloha Stadium is receiving $4 million to design future renovations and improvements.

Gov. Linda Lingle released the funds, which are not included in the nearly $1.9 billion public infrastructure construction plan that was unveiled earlier this month to stimulate the economy and create jobs.

The projects to be designed are needed to repair and upgrade the 33-year-old facility to allow for its continued use by the public for another 20 to 30 years.

The work will include structural retrofits and repairs, recoating and repainting, waterproofing, seat replacement, new public elevators, restroom expansions and other improvements.

Design is scheduled to begin in June 2009 and be completed in July 2010. Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2011 and be completed in July 2012.
