Why Walsall
With over 250,000 residents, Walsall is a growing, dynamic and exciting centre for business growth and development. Centrally located, with excellent road, rail and air transport links to the rest of the United Kingdom and beyond, Walsall is anticipated to be the beneficiary of half a billion pounds' worth of investment by 2010 – predominantly from the private sector.
The Walsall Regeneration Company , Walsall Council and various partners are leading the way with eight transformational projects throughout the borough which will make a very real and lasting difference to Walsall 's economy.
These key projects include the £180 million-plus iconic and visually stunning flagship Waterfront development, which will create a new ‘quarter' with mixed residential, leisure and office use. St Matthew's Quarter will see the development of a new ASDA anchor store and ‘city living' apartments schemes alongside niche shopping outlets.
Walsall is adopting a thoroughly holistic approach to regeneration, looking at the development of the borough and its people as a whole. At the heart of Walsall First is an initiative to develop a business, learning and retail campus in the centre of the borough. Walsall College , the council, Walsall Regeneration Company and Tesco are working to provide a new environment for skills, enterprise and business that will make Walsall one of the leading towns in the West Midlands.
Complemented by excellent educational, health, leisure and arts facilities; with woodland, commons and canals within easy reach of the town centre, Walsall is a diverse, exciting and fast growing location for businesses and their employees.
