Enhancing Columbia's Quality of Life Footprint

Columbia has achieved a great deal of public acknowledgement in terms of quality of life. In 2011, Columbia received recognition as the second most livable community in the United States by Money Magazine.

There are many different elements involved in a community earning such a high rating. Public safety, transportation, good retail, housing, excellent schools and many other basic factors are critical to a community receiving the accolades that Columbia has achieved. Other elements such as quality of life functions including recreational facilities, the physical condition of the people in a community, and the old basic, “something to do” venues are also critical to a community being great, but more importantly staying great.

The video in this post highlights how CA facilities and programs provide key elements in making Columbia the second most livable community in America.

CA provides 23 outdoor swimming pools, three fitness centers, two golf courses, four tennis complexes, a sport and skate-park, summer camp programs, school age services, and many, many more elements that assist in making Columbia a highly livable community.



Primary Focus Points:
  • Monitor facility usages
  • Prepare plans that help CA and potential users to understand changes in demographics and lifestyles that could impact CA facilities and programs
  • Develop partnerships with public and private agencies to develop planning philosophies that focus on what’s needed and what could make Columbia even more attractive in the future
  • Develop venues that capture community experience and knowledge to help create the future for Columbia
