Hundreds of Columbia residents speak out against development plans at former McGinness Airport site

Hundreds of Columbia, Lancaster County residents attended a contentious council meeting to oppose potential data center development at the former McGinnis Airport property and advocate for more transparency. The council tabled discussions on new data center restrictions, despite previous zoning changes that allow data centers by right, while a petition with nearly 1,500 signatures opposes such development. Residents also expressed concern over the potential sale of the airport property to Sadia Holdings, fearing it could become a data center site.
