Don’t forget that this would generate property tax revenue that is currently not being received as well as possible utilities revenues for the town. Is the town expending resources to keep it mowed and keep vagrants our? The renter would fix it up on his own dime. Come on. Seems like they would try to negotiate something to get a tenant in there.

Would YOU give away your own personal property for HALF of its value??? People need to think through their comments before posting them. You need to know the history of this building, and realize that they didn’t just “fall into” a great deal for $1.00.

P.S
While your at it, you need to put the house that is suppose to serve as the Century Welcome Centure up for sale. That is nothing but a waste of revenue that could assist with paying taxes and etc…..

Century has a new business that is about to open up with a beautiful mural painted on the side, place some brochures there for anyone to see when they stop, probles
solved.

We live outside of the city limits, but we have a Century mailing address. Sure wished us country folks could participate in the voting system there, maybe we could help the city residents in cleaning up the town council and get Century back to thriving again and restore their reputation.

Those who voted it down, you are just being plain greedy and foolish!

I was told Larry was the young man that stopped me and my sis from writing our names in the concrete when Grandad poured the floor of the garage in 1972. Grandad told him to get over it.
Rent him the building.

So, correct me if I’m wrong.

Century has a building that is sitting vacant, not producing ANY revenue, and not creating ANY jobs.

Along comes a business that, in all actuality, only wants to lease HALF of said building for $240,000 for 5 years…..AND there was already a tenant in mind for the other half of the building (With the unstated potential to create local jobs).

I just don’t think the Century government and counsil are good even at the simplest form of economics. Here let me help……

ANY BUILDING MAKING ANY MONEY IS BETTER THAN ANY BUILDING MAKING NO MONEY!!!!!

Get those clowns out of there. They have no business being in the positions of power that they’ve swindled themselves into.

What is the number one rule in real estate??? Location! Location! Location! As far as the data goes, Century is probably a higher risk for many types of industry to locate there.

Change the motion and bring it again. Three members of the council have formed a voting block about this type of mentality that government leaders should create jobs for the community and they vote with the Mayor. It’s a lay over from the company town boss and the plantation mentality.
You are supposed to be managing the town like an incorporation, a business
Wake up.
Look around. This was money for the incorporation.
People should create their own business. Baxley is a good example.

Can you imagine what he has to say about this vote?
