Columbia to hold public hearing on lighting project

The city of Columbia is scheduled to hold a public hearing on a downtown lighting project on April 15. Several Columbia citizens told ABC 17 News they are not aware of the project. According to the city, the lighting project was designed to make Columbia safer. This is done by adding LED lights to downtown Columbia and lighting up the area. "We're hoping that some information on a pilot project can actually be returned," said Columbia Water and Light Advisory Board director Scott Fines.
