OPLC Statement on the Olympic Stadium
22nd January 2010
Andrew Altman, Chief Executive of the Olympic Park Legacy
Company said: "The company has been very focussed to secure the
best possible use for the Olympic Stadium after the Games.
"We have been examining all options which will both secure the
financial viability and significant public investment in the
stadium coupled with making sure that legacy promises are
fulfilled.
"It is very encouraging that there is great interest and
enthusiasm in the future use for the Stadium. It is already a
dominant structure on London's landscape and offers fantastic
opportunities to fulfil its Olympic legacy.
"We are perfectly clear that the future of this valuable public
asset is secured in a way which allows the best opportunities to
come forward and at the same time offer the best value for money
for the public purse.
"In the coming months, we will put in a place a process which
will allow appropriate uses for the Stadium to be brought forward,
which we will then evaluate against a set of criteria prior to the
Board of OPLC making recommendations to the Mayor and
Ministers."
