A run-down industrial estate may be revamped to bring it in line with Middlesbrough Council's vision for the town.
Parts of Cannon Park have become derelict and empty units have turned into an eyesore.
A team of consultants will be appointed to devise a plan for the industrial estate, which forms a gateway into the town from the A66 trunk road.
Planning officers are hoping the strategy will link with the multi-million pound Middlehaven development to the north of the estate. The £20,000 cost of the study will be met by the Tees Valley Partnership Single Programme and Regeneration Initiatives Budget.
A joint proposal to redevelop the site was thrown out after a public inquiry in August 2004.
