HEARD About Town

Borough officials have enlisted the help of Hospitality Marketers International, Inc., a Wisconsin-based firm, to perform a feasibility study regarding a hotel.

Currently, Columbia has no lodging for out-of-town guests. Information gathered suggests this would be a boost for the town. Visitors to Columbia Crossing, the Northwest River Trail, Turkey Hill Experience, the Watch and Clock Museum, Historic Society, and the many antique shops may welcome the opportunity to stay overnight.

Visitors staying longer will most likely spend more than just time here.

The study will cost under $5,000 and is expected to be finalized by August.
