National League South side Truro City reveal an ‘exciting development proposal for in and around their stadium’.
The Tinners have unveiled plans which will reportedly cost between £50m and £60m plans, which will see an improved stadium capacity, new houses, shops and a 3G pitch and much more.
Truro currently sit 5th with 13 points from 6 games played, and moved into the Truro City Stadium in July 2024.
They became the first ever Cornish team to achieve the feat of reaching the fifth tier, and are looking to get themselves back their after finishing bottom last season.
They said in a statement on their website and social media:
Truro City Football Club is delighted to announce that it is working with master developer LGV Property Holdings LLP, and its members Cornwall Council and Treveth Holdings, on an exciting development proposal, located in and around the Truro City Stadium.
Titled the Milestone Project, the proposals include a mixed-use stadium district that would support activity beyond matchdays.
This would position the club as an anchor institution for placemaking, community activity and economic impact within the city of Truro and Cornwall more widely.
The designated site would include a new clubhouse and increased stadium capacity, alongside a mix of accommodation, community centre, 3G pitch, health, employment, retail, food and beverage and other commercial uses.
The site also benefits from its relationship with Cornwall Council’s adjoining 1,250-space Park and Ride facility and direct connections into Truro’s transport network.
Together, these elements support a well-connected destination for sport, health, employment, and community activity.
The club, Cornwall Council and Treveth Holdings, are now working collaboratively with prospective development partners, occupiers, and investors to utilise the land space to deliver lasting economic and social value for Truro and the wider Langarth community.
The proposed project reflects the ambition and ethos of Truro City, with the potential for establishing a durable, long-term income stream for the club and its charity arm the Truro City Community Trust, for generations to come.
“Truro City is on a journey of continual improvement in everything we do,” said the club’s chief executive officer Robin Karkeek.
“Part of that journey is the aspiration to provide a solid foundation for the club’s future success, both on the pitch and in the community.
“We have reached a real ‘Milestone’ opportunity for development in and around the Truro City Stadium site, that will underpin the needs of the club for future generations.
“We still have a long way to go, but with the continued support of fans, sponsors and stakeholders, working with Treveth Holdings and Cornwall Council we will get there.
“Truro City Football Club is an exciting place to be right now, and we are driven to succeed”.

The club already have a strong community and with what is purposed this will make the club even stronger and make us a flag ship for the county. There is a lot in the plans that will generate income and investment for the club and the local community.
Callum John Wason: dont get me wrong it would be wonderful if it happens but its been promised and not given so many times i have no faith
David Rowarth: As everything is way behind schedule, I think my comments will wait until we actually see the project taking shape. Because if the Council are involved, this only goes one way. 👀
