in 2030 | Ten years from now, what will the world look like? What will Columbia look like? In this New York Times piece, “The Times asked 13 public figures for their predictions on the best and worst to come.” In Columbia, well, that’s an open topic. Citizens may recall that there have been a series of purported “public input sessions” of Columbia’s Comprehensive plan project spearheaded by Jeffrey Helm, Zoning and Planning Officer of the Borough of Columbia. Recently Mary Wickenheiser, chairperson of Columbia’s Planning Commission, made a pitch at a council budget meeting about the importance of the borough’s comprehensive plan that looks ahead, too.

The 1995 Comprehensive Plan with updates (Comprehensive Plan 2014) is posted at the Borough Website.
