There's a war raging in Columbia, and you're invited to join in - if you dare. Rivertown Theatre Productions will present Columbia's Haunted Lantern Tour, "Civil War," beginning on Friday, Oct. 13.
The annual, nonprofit tour will kick off at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 616 Locust St., before guests will venture through Mount Bethel Cemetery, guided by lantern light on the one-hour tour.
What happened: Council members approved the borough's 2040 comprehensive plan after Lancaster County Planning Commission suggested no changes or found any errors.
Why it matters: Columbia 2040, which replaces the last comprehensive document approved in 1995, focuses on how the borough will handle growth and improve residential services for the next 15-20 years. The document, divided into two sections and spanning 130 pages, also uses easily understandable language to outline achievable goals, council members said.
The Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge, officially called the Veterans Memorial Bridge, spans the Susquehanna River between Columbia and Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, and carries Route 462. Built originally as the Lancaster-York Intercounty Bridge, construction began in 1929, and the bridge opened on September 30, 1930. On November 11, 1980, it was officially dedicated as Veterans Memorial Bridge, though it is still referenced locally as the Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge.
