Columbia council discusses funds for renovation of Columbia Market House | Community News | lancasteronline.com

Columbia Borough Council meeting, Feb. 13.

The borough has moved one step closer to receiving almost a $1 million reimbursement for money used to renovate the Columbia Market House, Borough Manager Mark Stivers told council members.

Columbia has been waiting more than three years to collect, and council members want part of the reimbursement to start the second phase of the market, Stivers said during the meeting. The second phase will focus on parking.

Reimbursement stalled when borough employees could not find a copy of the deed to the land at 15 S. Third St. Instead, Columbia had to prove ownership through other documents, such as newspaper clippings and borough council minutes from more than 100 years ago.
