Get the jobs going and collect those taxes. That place is not making anyone money laying derelict. Let them have credit at easy terms and tax breaks.

As far as Burger King goes although there were some problems, it’s never a good idea for such a small town to have so many burger joints. We don’t have enough people to support them all. We have some tourists during the summer but not enough to keep thrm all open during the down season. City hall and chamber of commerce should consider this before bringing them in. We need diversity.

There are county liens against the property. The owners apparently neither want to pay the liens nor clean up the property, and the county doesn’t want to enforce either. The owners want the liens reduced or forgiven because the liens reduce the selling price. An unnamed buyer, if there is one, “will look to repair some of facility for their business.” Why won’t they be required to clean up and repair all of the property? Who will clean up the remaining portion? If the buyer backs out, will the liens be reinstalled? Any lien reduction or forgiveness should be conditional.

I am all for economic development. I agree with Nana, Citizen and Watcher. I want to see the Town grow and prosper and the lives of the citizens in Century and surrounding communities made better. Bring businesses and jobs here. If there are not enough people in Century who are able and willing to work, then let others come in and do so.

To encourage progressive growth in Century, the area in question should be rezoned. Change the Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map, Land Development Code and Zoning to residential to allow developers to come in and build houses. Such residential development would be growth.

Industrial uses should be colocated at the Industrial Park.

I would applaud any legitimate efforts made by the Mayor, the Council and the County to make these things happen. Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce would get more involved in bringing other businesses here as well.

Probably make more sense for economic development.

Let it be a race…

No Doubt. The Century Burger King is an example. But how is the What a Burger doing?

It must have come down to management and expectations, and yes no doubt the actions and behavior of the people was noticeable, the condition of the store and food were incorrigible. They did it to themselves.

A Pop Eye’s Chicken (same company –restaurant brands inc own them) could go in there and flourish. Just do not hire or retain individual unable or unwilling to do a job, no matter where they live or who they are.

A business could open in Century and could draw people in from the surrounding areas. The Food Giant is booming. Is every one who works there or shops there from Century?

No

As far as people development the closing of Century school was a blessing Northview is a great school. The college is there in Century , you hear nothing about it.

I suppose people that do not take advantages of opportunity, freely given, to educate, better themselves, get a job or a trade. Well that is on them. No excuses. It is their choice and their fault. PERIOD.

If they drag around, complain, whine, be lazy or what ever and get fired..tough stuff.

Miracle??..Bull..

Law and Order, Hard Work, Holding Leaders and People accountable. that’s your miracle

But if it is forcing them to be accountable..what ever..

Who knows..

Clean it up.

Get er done!!
