It was anticipated work would start on the 52,888-capacity stadium in the autumn once planning permission had been granted.<\/p>\n
While the global pandemic may yet impact on that timescale the project is seen as a major component to help the region bounce back economically.<\/p>\n
Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, has published Building Back Better, an ambitious strategy setting out the city region\u2019s pathway to recovery and Bramley-Moore Dock \u2013 labelled \u2018The People\u2019s Project\u2019 by the club \u2013 and the community legacy project planned for the Goodison Park site have been included.<\/p>\n
Everton chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale said: \u201cWhile \u2018The People\u2019s Project\u2019 is creating an iconic waterfront home for Everton and new community facilities and housing in L4, it will also deliver a significant economic boost for two disadvantaged areas of our city and address a skills gap to create job and apprenticeship opportunities for local people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Research carried out by international property consultancy CBRE indicates a new stadium would contribute a \u00a31billion boost to the local economy, create up to 15,000 jobs, accelerate \u00a3650million of regeneration and attract 1.4m visitors to the city.<\/p>\n
