The Edgar Street Grid is a redevelopment project in the north of Hereford, England. Its estimated to cost almost ã1 billion and intended to restore the city as a key shopping and business destination in the region. Construction was expected to start in 2010.
The project creates three distinct but interlinked zones - the Retail/Leisure Quarter, on the council-owned old livestock market; the Civic Quarter, to contain a mix of public buildings, private offices, shops and restaurants; and the new Blackfriars Urban Village, where around 800 new homes will be built. A centrepiece to the regeneration will be a new canal basin at the end of the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal, which is currently undergoing restoration.
The project was officially scrapped in July 2010, despite over ã10 million having been already spent.
