Some of the Money from Scarborough's £20m Town Deal Fund payment will be used to help make improvements at Scarborough Cricket Club.
The club is embarking on a £250,000 programme of modernisations.
Last week the club signed a new ten year deal with Yorkshire County Cricket club to host 10 days of top flight cricket a year at North Marine Road.
Vice President Bill Mustoe says they will be working on one stand in-particular.
Bill says the improvements to the West stand will be the most visible aspect of the works which will modernise the ground.
He thinks the money is a sound investment in the North Marine Road ground which brings around 40,000 people a year to the town. Bill says that without the Town Deal Fund cash the works wouldn't have been able to go ahead.
Phase one of the project will see the refurbishment of the North Stand and Trafalgar End toilets, including a new accessible toilet. Later in the year, phase two will commence with the renovation of the West Stand. This will include new seating, the installation of new bar facilities and female changing rooms. Two hybrid pitches will be inserted to ensure that the ground will become a hub in the area for junior boys and girls cricket, particularly for those in deprived areas.
