Cornwall Council is to invest up to £120,000 in order to move forward with plans for a new multi-million pound stadium development near Truro.
A provisional feasibility study has already earmarked Langarth Farm, Threemilestone, as the preferred site for the Miller Partnership-designed venue, which is set to cost around £24m.
Cornwall Council appointed Gardiner and Theobald to undertake the Stadium for Cornwall study, which has proposed a 10,000-seat venue with commercial floor space.
The council's cabinet has now approved the additional investment, which will help progress the plans and draw up a final business case for the scheme.
Cornwall Council leader Carolyn Rule said: "This project aims to build a stadium that will be an inspirational multi-use stadium and visitor complex built to exemplar environmental standards which maximises the economic benefits to Cornwall."
