Could this be why Bill Roberts didn't show up for his real estate deal?


Maybe this is why Bill Roberts didn't show up at the special meeting of council last spring regarding the conversion of the Columbia #1 building into a call center. Was he too busy wrangling cows?

Bill Roberts is the owner of a real estate development company, IBS Development, which focuses on inner city projects for adaptive reuse of older buildings.

The Turkey Hill Experience in Columbia, Pa., and the Crayola Center in Easton, Pa., are two of his company's projects. IBS has developed about 2 million square feet of older properties over the past 30 years, and continues to do so.

FYI: A quick look at the codes department

Shown below is the Columbia Borough Codes Department Report for January through August of this year, showing the numbers for complaints, notices, citations, and quick tickets.


Currently, the codes department consists of the following enforcement personnel:
  • Jeffrey Helm, code enforcement officer/supervisor. Helm also serves as zoning officer, planning officer, emergency management officer, and borough tax collector.
  • George Weiss, part-time code enforcement officer
  • Thomas Millhouse, part-time code enforcement officer
At Monday's meeting of the whole, Councillor Kelly Murphy announced that a full-time codes supervisor has been "budgeted-in" for the 2016 budget.  This position will entail working "in the field" to handle notices and citations.
