If Workforce Escarosa is buying into this company that doesn’t exsist… I think it’s time for this to be looked at by the state. Looks like fraud was commited & the state should’ve known better. Lets hope all those applicants do not have their personal info sold. It happens all the time. Safeguards should protect applicants from this. I hope the “financing” goes through….just like buying a home, this company should have credit approved before hand. Good luck to all involved.

Probably got tax breaks and maybe money from our government to start a bussiness, then make up some excuses and get out.

Kinda funny how 3000 people have gave this company that doesn’t exist their ss numbers and all their private info, hope they don’t have some crooks somewhere along the line with the company( if you can call it that ). Or there will be alot of folks even more down and out than they were to begin with. Just saying

Unfortunately the somewhat flat economy has struck this venture as well. I imagine the idea was good, but is lacking funding. It may never come to pass. I pray for something to break loose in this region to help those who are doing without.

” But as of this week, the property was last sold in 2006 to DMT Holdings, Inc. of Navarre and still belongs to that investment group.

As of April, over 3,000 people had already applied for one of just a few hundred jobs expected to be available initially at Century Lumber and Land, according to Catharine Jeter of Workforce Escarosa”

So ‘Workforce Escarosa’ is collecting applications and information on applicants for jobs that have never, and do not, will not, cannot, exist?

very interesting……

I do personally wish that this would come to fruition. Unfortunately, looks like another scammer right now though. How can you have a ribbon cutting ceremony on a property that you don’t even own? Why did city officials really let this happen?

enlighten, Please and Thank You!
