Wonder how much the town of Century has paid for utilities, insurance and maintenance during the past 12 years for a vacant building. After 12 years, you gotta question the $550,000 appraised value.

Its laughable that anyone could think the last offer from West Florida Gin was a decent offer. Maybe for those buying, but not those selling.

Basically, the company offered to buy the property for half of the appraised price — provided the Town of Century agreed to be the Banker and carry the note AND be responsible for repairs and maintenance during the term of the lease until the company finally was able to buy it and the end of the lease for $100…. What a horrible deal for Century.

Eye roll. Century, a town where the government is so incompetent it hired a town manager but still pays a mayor. LOL!

You would think that sometime during the last 12 years they would have listed this property with some reputable commercial/industrial real estate firm. Even dumb and dumber would have done that. But maybe they are afraid that if they do that, they couldn’t get their fingers in the deal if it ever came by.

I wish they had taken the first offer.
It highlights some of the difference I’ve noted in ways of thinking.
A government should be run like a business and the people are responsible for themselves.
You will note some democrats think the government is supposed to take care of them and the commune.
FL West had Century pay for an appraisal, which Century already had one– then nothing happened with that. except the appraiser made $.

Maybe the first people Baxley and Godwin are still able to make an offer and the council will realize, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

“Only until Thursday!! Then they will sift through the numerous offers and choose a prospective tenant. What a laughingstock..”

(They’ve been taking proposals for nearly a month. We ran a story back then, and decided to run this one today as a reminder to help them out.)
