The final updated business case for a multi-million pound public services hub in Bury St Edmunds is to be agreed next month.
The Western Way hub is set to be constructed on the Olding Way depot building and bring together public service organisations such as West Suffolk Council, police, NHS services and education provision, alongside commercial space and leisure and gym facilities.
The £110million project had been progressing on schedule until the Covid-19 pandemic hit, prompting West Suffolk Council in November to agree to a fresh look at the business case to ensure it was still viable.
That is set to be completed in early June, and will now be brought forward to full council on June 22 for final approval for the project to continue.
The pandemic has meant the scheme is a year behind schedule, and unlikely to be completed until 2024.
Joanna Rayner, Conservative cabinet member for leisure, culture and community hubs, told Tuesday night's cabinet meeting: "We were on track at the time the pandemic struck.
"We had a final business case approved, the depot buildings about to be fully vacated and a planning application submitted.
"However, Covid hit and there have been some impacts as a result of that. There have been some impacts but it's not all negative.
"It has allowed partners to think about how they might use the space, and really solidified why the Western Way development is such a good development for us to go forward.
"We have got continued support from all partners, and a scheme that can now be delivered in phases."
While the final list of organisations set to occupy space there is to be approved in future, target services will include those already in place at the council's West Suffolk House base, a new leisure centre, large NHS community health facility, commercial office provision, shared advice centre and a skatepark.
Other phases in future could also include a new pre-school and student accommodation.
The plans follow the £39m Mildenhall Hub model featuring council services, swimming pools, gym and sports facilities, library, health centre, children's centre and job centre.
Council leader John Griffiths said Mildenhall "shows what can be done by imaginative working with excellent partners".
