The plans for the new location of the wholesale market Cologne are starting to develop. According to the local news station the Kölnischer Rundschau, the CDU and Greens in Cologne have formulated a joint proposal for the next council meeting. Until September the possibilities for a new location should be researched. When a new location is found the wholesale market has to be designed together with interested parties. If the search for a location remains unsuccessful the wholesale market remains at the current location at Marsdorf.
