Comments |
Kent County Cricket Club remain
‘totally committed’ to the £8.2million St Lawrence Ground
redevelopment scheme.
The news last week that Canterbury
City Council are to lend the club £4m has given the project a huge
shot in the arm, and acting chief executive Jamie Clifford said:
"It is full steam ahead as far as we are concerned."
Mr Clifford revealed that the club
have found a developer and that work to bring the scheme to
fruition is continuing.
He said: "I can’t sit here and say
this is when it is going to start and this is when it’s going to
end but we are totally committed to the project, as much now as we
were two, three years ago."
The redevelopment will take two years
to complete and includes a hotel, conference facility, health and
fitness centre, hospitality boxes, stand refurbishment and
floodlights.
Mr Clifford added: "I’ve been involved
right back to the first vision of the project and I’m a huge
believer in what it will do for Kent County Cricket Club.
"The point we’re at is getting
everything aligned so that we are ready to go. It’s a key phase
because whatever we put together in the plan now is likely to be
the way it plays out."
