For those who own cabins along the Susquehanna River, it has been a tense summer and it has nothing to do with the hot weather that has locked into the area.
For the last four months ever since Columbia Borough Council said it was considering a gift from the Safe Harbor Power Company for land the cottages sit on, the owners have been attending meetings in mass, trying to find out the fate of their properties.
Last week, the cabin owners attended council's property meeting and were told the "gifting" was still in the hands of the solicitor.
Monday night, the cabin owners and others again packed the monthly meeting of borough council and finally got a response on their questions.
The response came in a three-page written statement from Mayor Leo Lutz, who told the council to accept the gifting of the land from Safe Harbor and sell it to the River Cottage Owners Association through the Columbia Economic Development Corporation, similar to the way the Turkey Hill Experience project was completed
Lutz said (Food for Thought, posted elsewhere on COLUMBIA TALK) the sale would allow the borough to move forward with other projects.
Lutz' letter was greeted with a round of applause from the cottage owners, but there were no comments or a vote taken by the council on the mayor's request.
