From the release:

Manchester City has today announced it is undertaking feasibility studies to develop a best-in-class fan experience and a year-round entertainment and leisure destination at the Etihad Stadium.

The feasibility studies are aligned with the Eastlands Regeneration Framework and an ambition to develop East Manchester into a world-leading sport, leisure, and entertainment destination. A core principle of this is to ensure that Etihad Campus facilities are a significant source of community, employment, and economic opportunity for the local community and Manchester.
