Columbia Borough Council to consider data center zoning rules, $6.35M property sale at Tuesday’s meeting

Agenda for the May 26, 2026 Columbia Borough Council meeting (The meeting packet is HERE.)

JOE LINTNER | COLUMBIA SPY 

Columbia Borough Council will hold its regular meeting Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Please note the change of venue: The meeting will be held at the Columbia Borough Fire Hall, 726 Manor Street, due to larger than average attendance expected. 

Two significant land use and development items are on the agenda for the meeting:

Consider approval of text amendment to add Data Centers to zoning (Item 9c)

Council will consider approving an amendment to the borough’s zoning ordinance that will lay out how data centers must be developed and operated.

Consider awarding the bid for the McGinness Innovation Park property to Saadia Holdings LLC for $6.35 M (Item 10b)

Also on the agenda is the proposed award of the bid for the former McGinness airport property to Saadia Holdings LLC for $6.35 million.

There is still a question of whether the meeting will be livestreamed due to the change of venue. Currently, the plan is to video record the meeting and upload the footage to the borough’s YouTube channel.
