Floriade 2022

[1] On 15 November 2017, Floriade Expo 2022 was officially recognized as a horticultural exhibition by the Bureau International des Expositions.

NTR, the organizing body of the event informed the media in October 2021 that no decision had been made as to whether an eighth Floriade would be held, possibly ending a tradition.

The site will first be made ready for construction, after which the builders start to build roads, bridges, showcase houses, i-Streets and country pavilions.

A Doppelmayr cable car was installed at the park which opened in June 2021 and operated as part of Floriade Preview until the end of September 2021.

Cloo led Floriade through rough waters when the city council of Almere announced it wanted to re-evaluate whether the expo could continue in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cloo left his position in April 2021 as he had lost the trust in the city counsel, although there was also a hefty discussion about his salary, allowing him to only work 4-hours per week for the last four months of his assignment.
