Council nixes McGinness "Airfield" deal
In a 6-0 vote, Columbia Borough Council voided the agreement of sale with Peggy A. Knoll and James G. McGinness, trustees of the McGinness property at 1020 Manor Street. Council voided the agreement at a special meeting Monday night, because “environmental and/or subsurface conditions of the property are unacceptable to the borough.” At its April 10, 2017 meeting, council voted to consider approval of the sale, pending the outcome of an investigation of the property during a 90-day “due diligence” period.
Councillor Cleon Berntheizel was present via phone at Monday’s meeting, and Councillor Fran FitzGerald was absent.
The backstory of the pending sale of the property is HERE:
