CHERRIES chief executive Neill Blake said progress on the new training ground highlighted owner Maxim Demin and the board's commitment to "keep the club moving in the right direction".
On Thursday, the Vitality Stadium outfit announced amendments are set to be tabled for the approved facility ahead of work beginning.
“This is an incredibly exciting time for the club," said Blake.
“It has always been the board’s intention to develop and improve our infrastructure to something that is befitting of a Premier League club with elite, international players.
“Now we are fulfilling the first step of that ambition with this training complex.
“This development demonstrates the owner and board’s commitment to keep the club moving in the right direction, both on and off the pitch; continuing to be competitive in the Premier League, while achieving financial stability.”
Annual accounts filed by Cherries last week revealed the club acquired the site for the proposed training ground for £3.75million within the year ending June 2018.
This contributed to a loss of £10.9million for this 12-month period compared to a profit of £14.6million in the previous year.
