I think new housing fine , but also would like to ask if local people will be hired to help in construction of these apartments. God knows Century may need better housing , but they need jobs as well and we have labor’s we have brick Mason’s electrician and so on , why should all outside people be used before them?

Just because these APARTMENTS may be classified as low income don’t mean that decent, honest, hard working people should be stereotyped. It folks who rush to judgement who are “Low class” no matter how much money you make. Century is my home and I’m glad to see something positive happen. Everyone deserves decent, safe and affordable housing.

Low income subsidized means the tax payers are paying and the crime rate will increase. Look around at all past and future apartment complexes in this county and that is EXACTLY what you see. This isn’t a statement picking on the underprivileged, it’s a statement of experience. I worked as a maintenance man for a company that was contracted to work at these complexes and I was afraid for my safety so many times. Thugs don’t care, they want what you have and they take it. Once it becomes low income subsidized, it goes down hill from there. Regular renters wont move in do they subsidize more and more. Before you know it, there will be a wall with razor wire built around it. Poor decision!

Makes you wonder where the money is coming from and who is paying for it since that was not mentioned in the news. ???????

What makes everyone start out with negative comments? Something new and improved for our community and we make negative comments before the apartments are even built. The people who may need low income housing are not the problem. It’s the people who constantly try to stereotype the less fortunate negatively are the real people with problems. Get off your high horse and contribute more to your community. Try and make a difference instead of judging others based on stereotypes! BTW….I’m a local homeowner who understands the struggles first hand that some people face before being able to become successful. #nonegativity

I’ve been poor and homeless with children and I wouldn’t and didn’t stay in the projects. I didn’t need housing that bad and did I say I WAS HOMELESS WITH CHILDREN.

I’ve been in both and worked with both. I would like to think these will be regular apartments but I think we all know better.All I can say (without clicking on more photos) is they need to get a clue and put the 4 bedroom downstairs, 3 bedrooms on the second floor and the small places on the third floor. With the 2 heartbeats per bedroom law, that could mean 6 kids in the four bedroom. No one wants to listen to that much noise overhead. The tiny apartments get the peace and quiet the 3 floor affords..

@southerner

No such thing as “government subsidized”. It will all be tax payer subsidized
