Major Projects - Tesco

Construction commenced on a brand new 11,000 sq/m Tesco superstore at the start of 2010. The development is part of the Walsall First land swap deal between Tesco, Walsall College and Walsall Council which also facilitated the development of the new Walsall College, which opened in September 2009.

The wider Tesco development will also include 3,000 sq/m of office space and other small retail units, along with a new filling station. Around 200 new jobs will be created and four hectares of town centre brownfield land remediated.

WRC continues to work closely with Tesco and Think Walsall (possible hyperlink here to their website) to ensure that the benefits accruing from the scheme, including jobs created and local supply chain opportunities are maximised for the people and businesses of Walsall.
