Revealed: new Everton FC stadium costs

摘要

A council report on Everton's new stadium has revealed a breakdown of construction costs associated with the project. Liverpool City Council's planning officer's report, submitted ahead of a planning committee meeting last week that gave the project the green light, reveals that the project has a construction value of £505m and is expected to create 8,136 construction jobs. Laing O'Rourke was named as the contractor last year. The redevelopment of Everton's current home, Goodison Park, has been priced at £82.5m and is anticipated to generate 1,382 jobs. The report also suggests the scheme will prompt "wider catalytic" developments in land adjacent to the site with a construction value of £212m. The wider project figures are significantly less than the estimates made by Everton when it embarked on its initial public consultation. At the time, Everton claimed the scheme could act as a "catalyst project" that would provide a £lbn boost to the local economy, accelerating more than £650m of local developments around the stadium.
