Chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale has reiterated Farhad Moshiri's commitment to Everton's new stadium while writing to Blues fans to explain the agreement the club has struck with Laing O’Rourke to lock in construction costs. The deal will see the contractor deliver the next and final phase of development of the 52,888 capacity venue at Bramley-Moore Dock.
In an open letter sent to Everton supporters, Professor Barrett-Baxendale said: “I felt it was important to contact you directly today to share some significant news for our future. These are challenging times for the world. Challenging times for every household. And, as a club, we are not immune from such challenges.
“But, despite ongoing international uncertainty and the scale of the economic impact of COVID, we’ve been working relentlessly to ensure the biggest project this club has ever undertaken remains on track. Over the last nine months, Bramley-Moore Dock has been transformed from a dock into a site capable of accommodating an amazing stadium. An iconic new home for Everton Football Club.
