Liverpool has received a £1.5m cash injection to move the regeneration of the Baltic Triangle onto the next stage.
The money, given by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, will be invested into building a new station on the site of the former St James station, which closed in 1917.
It follows on from a £1.2m deal with Network Rail to start the next stage of the design process for the station.
The Baltic Triangle area is home to more than 350 creative and digital companies and there is a pipeline of 3,000 homes to be delivered on site.
Liverpool City Region metro mayor Steve Rotheram said: “The Baltic Triangle has undergone a radical transformation over the past decade and has become a fantastic place for people to live, work and enjoy themselves.
“While coronavirus continues to have a huge impact on everyday life, I am determined to keep investing in our region’s economic recovery and I remain ambitious for our future.”
