West Florida Gin was the only company to respond after the town of Century advertised for several weeks seeking lease proposals. Now we get picky like there’s actually choices to consider? Take the money West Florida is offering, and be glad for the income. How hard is this to understand? Don’t make it difficult. The answer is an easy one. And be glad West Florida Gin is an established company that actually would be able to pay the lease.

The town of Century makes Mayberry RFD seem intelligent.

New flash for Luis Gomez and Rafael Lopez it’s not about cotton, it’s about money. Century can’t even afford to pay it’s bills and you have local business people willing to pay $6,000 a month, for a building that has been vacant for years. No wonder Century is the laughing stock of this region. As for the mayor and his being contacted just hours before the meeting about a possible offer. Mr. mayor seems as this Florida West has already fooled you once so remember what they say, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Here’s the bigger picture……the cotton gin already employs people from Century and surrounding areas when cotton season comes around…..its seasonal but pays well. Council should ask them to hire more from Century whenever possible.

They are an established business so they won’t go belly up after a a couple years like a startup might.

Take the monthly payment and build a smaller building in the industrial park that will be more affordable and attractive to smaller industries.

The Town of Century would be money ahead if they had just GIVEN the building to the cotton gin years ago, never mind they are offering a ton of money for the lease. I hate to break it to Gomez, but if a manufacturing plant comes, it probably won’t be any of his buddies getting jobs there. If it’s any kind of skill positions, it will mostly be people from Pensacola getting the jobs. Lease it while you can or it will be sitting empty years from now, costing Century thousands of dollars a year.

It boggles my mind how some of these people get elected…

The mayor and council or whatever they call them selves are the laughing stock of the entire area. I usually read the articles just to see what stupid thing they have done now.
They had a chance to at least have a little help with paying maintenance on the building and turned it down. Democrats in action.
