Columbia approves ‘understandable and implementable’ comprehensive plan


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.
