The Lancaster County Sheriff's Department, Lancaster County Probation and Parole, and the Columbia Borough Police Department conducted a Borough-wide warrant detail on July 9th. Approximately 30 Officers and Deputies checked residences of known offenders and persons having outstanding warrants. Some offenders turned themselves in at the Columbia Police Department. Twelve arrests were made for various offenses to include Simple Assault, Strangulation, Resisting Arrest, Parole Violations and various other offenses. Six of the individuals arrested were committed to Lancaster County Prison. The Columbia Borough Police Department is appreciative to our County Law Enforcement partners for the ongoing support.

A large digital billboard was installed near the site of the former visitors center at 445 Linden Street. Columbia Borough Council voted last December to amend its off-premise signs ordinance to allow the billboard to be installed. PennDOT also approved the installation.

Joseph from Rich Hardin Construction worked on the project.

Jake Graham named interim borough manager for Columbia

Jake Graham 

Jake Graham was appointed as interim borough manager for Columbia Borough in a unanimous vote by council at its Tuesday night meeting. Graham steps into a position left vacant by former borough manager Mark Stivers' recent resignation. In addition to his new responsibilities, Graham will continue to serve as public works manager until a permanent borough manager is selected. To aid in this search, council has hired headhunter Scott Fiore from TriStarr for $15,000 to find and recruit qualified candidates for the position.
