Building to house an open market, one that has a notorious tendency to pollute? Would it not be better to keep the market open-air and manage it better including process the waste product seen thrown all over there in the area which easily could be the dirtiest neighborhoods in the world in my view.

From the article:

On the second floor of the basement, solid waste processing will be managed and the byproduct will be sold for the purpose of fertilizer and animal feed.

That place is now so dirty it's just shameful. Having a brand new building in place will force people to be clean and to keep it tidy. The owners I'm sure are going to enforce some rules.
