“Regeneration is about much more than buildings, it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity'
The regeneration of Wythenshawe has taken a major step forward after a developer was appointed to lead the £500m project.
It’s thought the project will cost at least £500m, with the initial building work expected to commence next year. Council leader Bev Craig called the appointment of Muse ‘a key moment’.“Regeneration is about much more than buildings, it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create jobs, deliver secure and affordable housing, tackle deprivation, strengthen community and create opportunity for the people of Wythenshawe,” she added.
Millions of public money has been ploughed into the scheme, with £20 million coming from a government Levelling Up Fund grant, with Manchester council putting in another £11.9 million ‘to deliver a cultural and creative hub, food hall, co-working and employment space, and initial investment in new public realm’.
