Cornish stadium feasibility study suggests locations
- Published
Two locations for a sports and events stadium in Cornwall have been identified in a feasibility study.
Truro and Threemilestone have been put forward in the initial findings of the study commissioned by Cornwall Council.
The study, which is to include a business plan and will identify facilities and possible tenants, should be completed at the end of the year.
A team is now looking at options to mitigate any stadium's impact on surrounding areas, the council said.
'Nurturing talent'
Proposals for the stadium include 4,500 seats for sporting events and a capacity of 10,000 for events such as music concerts.
Cornwall Council said that if built the stadium would help nurture regional sporting talent to compete on a national scale.
Stadium specialist Gardiner and Theobald have been working on the 拢78,000 study.
The council said the work had taken four key factors into account - social, transport, environment and economic.
Truro City Football Club and the Cornish Pirates rugby team have both been involved with the study.
