The town of Century needs code enforcement really bad if they ever want to grow and have businesses to move in. But if you are going to use people from the town of Century you are wasting your time. You need the County Code Enforcement. Someone that is not a best friend or kin. And that my friend is the reason why. Everybody is either good friends or maybe kin or someone that is wanting to see how good of a friend you are. Sound likes to me there could be some trouble if some rules were broken. And I see that happening. Get strick and clean up the place. I did not realize that Century had so many junk yards and there was never a ribbon cutting for a new business.

You need to let the county do the code enforcement. I’m sorry but “John Doe” town employee who is given the job is not going to turn in someone who is a relative or buddy OR a local politician. You are asking for problems when you have someone who knows half the town and is related in some way to the other half.

It looks to me like those who are saying they want a town employee to do this is just wanting a “body” to pacify the people who want the town cleaned up. Let’s be honest, Century is full of nice people but it is also full of dumps that need cleaned up. Just driving on Hwy 29 you could find more to count than you have fingers to count with. You want things cleaned up as long as it is not yours, your families, or your friends (and lets not forget someone who might vote for you).

Some talk big about wanting new business and new families to move in. I am sure you have heard the saying “the proof is in the pudding”! So lets be honest, you really don’t want anyone to actually move into your town. You are evidently happy with the status quo.

I think the same should go for the city itself.

Look at the old building downtown century in front of the old century hospital. That building needs to be torn down. When is that going to happen? Can we (citizens of century) take the same action and put a 20 day start clean up enforce for the city?

Hummm…just something to think about…Clean around your own door first!
