A MAJOR supermarket chain is in negotiations with a developer that could save a £150m regeneration project in North Liverpool, the Daily Post has learned.
Developer St Modwen says the grocer could sign up to the 43-acre scheme on Great Homer Street by Christmas.
The so-called Project Jennifer has fallen seven months behind schedule since supermarket giant Tesco pulled out.
Those behind the redevelopment hope it will create 480 new homes, 740 new full-time jobs and improved health facilities.
Michelle Taylor, St Modwen’s regional director, said last night: “After an awful lot of time and effort, we were not able to achieve board approval from Tesco and we had remarketed the whole scheme and happily we are now in discussions with another food store operator.
“We need a food store operator signed up to move forward successfully with the scheme.
