Columbia Borough unanimously votes against bid for former McGinness Airport site

The Columbia Borough Council unanimously voted against a $6.35 million bid from Saadia Holdings LLC for the former McGinness Airport property, a site residents feared could be used for a data center. Hundreds of residents attended the meeting, expressing strong opposition to potential data center development and demanding transparency from the council. While a proposed amendment for additional data center restrictions was tabled, the vote against the property sale marked a win for local opposition.
