Settlement is delayed again

What has become common place in Columbia, settlement on the borough-owned property at Third and Linden streets, that is to become the Turkey Hill Experience, has been delayed yet again.
Settlement between the borough, the Columbia Econonic Development Corporation and Musuem Partners has been delayed because of the bank financing the project, Susquehanna Bank, needed 10 days from the time they received all of the signed documents to review them.
Settlement may occur later this month, or borough council might have to have a special meeting to extend its agreement into the first few days of June.
The project is still a go, once the bank, agrees to everything.
