An unproven product , just a golf cart with jeep look alike bodyon it, a couple of guys who can’t pay their taxes. Has Century really lost anything? If their product was so good , cities and towns across America would be bidding to get them. As for the guys, they will probably become cabinet appointees!

Century has 3 major hurdles to jump. The first is appearance….no-one in their right mind would locate a business to that town as it presently appears. The second is crime…..they must take a proactive stance on crime. Encourage neighborhood watch programs and provide incentives for them to maintain themselves. The third is finances…..with the new socialism form of goverment we are enjoying it should not be hard to attain funding for various “feel good ” projects.

With town employees fighting while on the town payroll, do you think any honest business would consider moving there.

Instead of crossing fingers and wishing why don’t the leaders of Century put together a group of the best and brightest to determine a niche, put together a business plan and pursue state and federal funding? Continually looking for relief from outside the community has proven fruitless and just sets the citizens up to be disappointed and deceived by those who would take advantage. I believe Century has the resources (people) who can accomplish this.

What a politician says:
“We all know that Alabama is more free with money for industry than Florida,”

What he means:
Alabama wants industry in their state so they don’t tax them at too high a rate, unlike Florida.
