Just think positive. What would things become if our leaders did not make the many serious efforts to aid the town? Could be much worse.
Thanks to the current and recent mayors, staff and council members.

We went through Century on Sat. and I noticed the US flag at the South entrance needs to be replaced. The bottom stripe was torn and flapping in the breeze. Maybe now you can afford to replace the flag.

I was born in Century and have a lot of fond memories of Century.

Welcome to beautiful down town century here is our lovely housing project lit up like a football stadium. These are our historic, vacant, and abandoned buildings. Century should have used that money for beautification projects or fixing the playground at Showalter Park.

No they needed nearly $12,000.00. I am a business owner in Century. I don’t shop locally because A. I don’t want to shop at a glorified liquor store. B. I don’t want to pay big city prices at a small town grocery store. My business makes enough money to keep the lights on and that is good enough for me.

Our schools, gone. Our county offices, gone,.our service stations, closing because of corrupt officials. Very few jobs. Drugs and crime, in the news constantly. I hope the money spent on this works.

In response to “really?”

There is the Century prison as a home away from home for these local folk and the prison supports the town. Plus there’s a bonus in that local relatives don’t have far to travel for a visit.

@really:

Give it a rest.
Since all those things are happening you want them to simply sit down and do nothing to try to make the town better? Geeesh. What a sourpuss
Seems to me you are one of the things wrong with the community. As the article says, ” The negative attitude of community members was also a major concern. Some have cited defeatist attitudes, apathy, lack of communication, and resistance to change…”

Give the town a break.

From today’s frontpage:

Century Armed Standoff Suspect Enters Plea

Century Man Gets Prison For Drug Possession, Battery On Deputy

And you need a $5,500 plan to tell you what’s wrong with Century? Seriously?
