Columbia Borough has been awarded the 2010 Governor’s Award for Local Government Excellence in Promoting Community & Economic Revitalization. The award was for the Columbia Borough River Park Revitalization & Expansion Project.
The award was presented to representatives from Columbia Borough, the River Park Steering Committee and Buchart Horn, Inc. at a luncheon Thursday, April 15, 2010 at the Harrisburg Farm Show Building.
The award is the result of seven years work by the River Park Steering Committee. The River Park Steering Committee started discussions on revitalizing the River Park in 2003 and has been meeting monthly since. Construction on the project started in late fall 2009 and is expected to be completed by May 1st, 2010 in time for the boating season.
The revitalized River Park will feature a three lane motorized boat ramp, new canoe/kayak ramp, increased parking, lights, a fishing pier and docks. The grass area will be off-limits this year to allow the grass to grow and take root. The River Park Steering Committee is exploring the possibility of adding a pavilion this year until a permanent building can be constructed as part of phase 1A at a later date.
Congratulations to the Columbia River Park Steering Committee for the years of hard work and dedication.
