Also this year the general meeting of the cooperative Markthalle Toggenburg has to be done by correspondence. The annual report shows that the dilapidated house with barn, which is on the edge of the area, is to be replaced by a new building. Provided the members of the cooperative approve the necessary credit of 350,000 francs, the planned warehouse building is to be built along the southern boundary of the property to the Högg AG company. As President Reto Meile notes, there are enough reserves to finance the project with his own funds.

With this decision, the board of directors has the option of being able to build an office building at a later date on the site of the dilapidated building. Currently, processes are to be improved with the new warehouse building and synergies with the Wattwil cider factory and the milk collection point are to be used.

Change in the board of directors

Ernst Zwingli, Neu St.Johann, is stepping down from the Board of Management who was the driving force behind the Markthalle project from the start. “Since the establishment of the interest group in 2002, he has been at the forefront with immense personal commitment, took a seat on the board of directors as chief financial officer and was a member of the building commission,” read the annual report.

Elisabeth Scherrer, Ebnat-Kappel, is to be elected to the Board of Directors. She has experience in the areas of finance, real estate construction and administration. Before moving to a service company for educational institutions, communities and non-profit organizations, she worked as a journalist and wrote, among other things, numerous specialist articles for agricultural media.
