Columbia Borough postpones data center ordinance discussion, will hold special meeting later
According to a July 10, 2026 LNP/LancasterOnline article, Columbia Borough Council is postponing debate on its proposed data center ordinance until a special meeting sometime in the next month, at a location still to be determined, due to anticipated high public turnout.
A council workshop meeting scheduled for July 7 was canceled because expected attendance would have exceeded the council chambers' capacity. Rather than finding a larger venue for next Tuesday's regular meeting, the borough opted to hold a separate special meeting later, according to borough manager Jack Brommer.
Council Vice President Heather Zink, who helped draft the data center ordinance, noted that some changes suggested by Saadia Holdings LLC had been incorporated into the draft. Saadia is the developer interested in buying the 41-acre former McGinness property for a possible data center.
