The historical board and the Town of Century needs to get out of the stone age and get in to the Future none as the twenty century this town is changing but we can’t change if we can’t get out of the nineteen hundreds..

I find it odd that the Historical Society allows the tall fences. They are so into keeping the district as it was. Building permits, etc,. Anyone who grew up there in the fifties know that we only had wire fences. Are the people making these policies from at least that era?

Shipping containers are probably more structurally sound then 75% of Century. For a town that’s going broke by the minute, they have some misplaced priorities.

I guess those unsightly storage containers and fences would detract from the established beauty of the neighborhood. They could obscure the views of the abandoned buildings, falling down saw mill, yards full of junk, and overgrown properties of the neighborhood. I guess you gotta start somewhere though.

I can understand the ban on shipping containers, because they are an eyesore and most nicer neighborhoods wouldn’t allow them… BUT, we are talking about Century here, and considering the way the rest of the town looks the containers are the least of their worries.

What is wrong with a metal shipping container being used for storage? I could understand this if it was permanently attached to a historical house, but people have to live in these homes and a metal storage unit provides clean and secure storage in a person’s back yard. Sometimes government sticks their nose in where it does not belong and lacks common sense.
