The agreement also stipulated that the municipality could be the first party to purchase Pali's sites at Industriepark 10 and Emopad 15. the condition was that Pali and the municipality would reach agreement on the purchase price. In recent months, several constructive talks have been held with Pali and both sites have been appraised. Based on this, both parties came to an agreement on the purchase price. With this agreement, the departure of the slaughterhouse from Geldrop-Mierlo could be made final. Pali transferred the slaughter activities to the Compaxo group in Zevenaar.

City council gives green light

The next step in the process was to submit the purchase to the City Council for decision. At its December 9 meeting, the city council has now decided to give the final green light to the purchase of the former slaughterhouse. In doing so, the council made a well-considered consideration between the purchase costs and the income generated by the issuance of the land as a business location (with the certainty, of course, that no slaughterhouse will return). To this end, a business case was prepared, weighing the costs against the benefits.

Alderman Frans Stravers responded enthusiastically Monday evening, "The City Council has unanimously decided to purchase Pali. I am delighted with the reasoned support that definitively puts an end to the nuisance for local residents. We will now do our utmost to realize a good and profitable infill for these business locations. Thank you to all employees and residents who contributed to this process. Thanks to Pali for a constructive process with a positive result for our municipality.
