Columbia moves forward on land bank plan

Columbia Borough Council and the Columbia Borough School Board voted to join forces with the Lancaster County Land Bank at a joint meeting Tuesday night. Columbia will be the first municipality in the county to do so. The move will give the borough more options in dealing with blighted properties.

The ordinance to join the land bank will be advertised, and the land bank must vote to approve the move at its December 20 meeting.
