From the 2008 RFC Annual Report...Richmond's state-of-the-art second training facility at Craigieburn is well under way.
Work on the MCG-sized training ground started earlier this year and is expected to be completed in January 2009.
The Tigers will begin training on the ground in February, for six sessions per month during the off-season and two sessions per month during the season.
"This facility will be a great addition to the northern suburban sporting community," Richmond CEO Steven Wright said.
Richmond and our affiliate Coburg are looking forward to becoming involved with the success of the new development. "
"Our relationship with the Craigieburn Greenfield development will enable us to grow our supporter base in this new high-growth population corridor."
The facility will also include a new change-room, gymnasium and community facilities, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2009.
The Victorian Government announced a funding boost of $2.5 million in May this year, taking the total funding allocation to $8.5 million.
The City of Hume, Stockland and the AFL have also pledged their support for the project.
