This kind of assistance is what makes the U.S. EPA Brownfields program such a great program. It is an Assessment grant however that the City of Century has from the EPA that allow them to conduct the environmental testing at the property.

It is great to see progress being made to clean this property up, but is any progress being made to get title to the property cleaned up so that somebody can develop it?

Century Resident is highly optimistic about this property. However, I don’t hold the same outlook for it. This old mill site is an environmental disaster that will most likely require federal EPA assistance to clean-up and mitigate the hazards that will be found there. Good luck with selling this “ocean front” property in Century to some sucker.

Yeah right that ANY of the building could be fixed. It would be better to separate each buildings and sell individual lots, or just sell it cheap.

I am very happy this is being cleaned up.

I know the town centered around the sawmill in past days.
With the past addition of the industrial uses on the west side of town, this area could be rezoned out of undustrial. The jobs many seem to want could go into the industrial park instead of this location.

I think a developer could get this 40 acres after the clean up and subdivide it and put in a decent housing area with home similar the the ones in the historic district and really turn things around up here. Think what that would do for the CRA.

With the assistance of Mr Eddy, the TOC could get increase in municipal services customers and improve the corporation’s bottom line.

Any thing is better than the debris field left there, but the possibilities are endless.
