I hope this is on the up and up, and well underway.

I just look up the companies and the principles on Sun Biz, It just looked like a bit of title work and legal issues would have to be satisfied by the new company.

I guess they are in contact principle for DMT, if he’s alive hopefully and will practically give it away and they signed things over, hoping to get the code fees cancelled.

I’m all for them doing away with all fines and cleaning this up. ANY improvement is welcome because the longer the government fines built up, the more entangled and worthless it becomes.

Even if they clear off the loose metal and scrap it and some one benefits– it’s great.

The cotton gin people should also be in the helicopter building.

True, I hope the council doesn’t screw this up with pompous blabbering.

It’s in the CRA though and that is good for the TIF there.

Hopefully the council knows how the verify ownership.

@ Citizen; Looks like this project is well underway without input or interference from anybody connected with the TOC. We can only hope that TOC stays out of the way and let’s it get completed. Let’s hope that TOC doesn’t start playing games with water and sewer connections like they have done with past projects, or start passing ordinances that would interfere with the starting or operating a business.

But I predict that they cannot help themselves, they will meet and try to put themselves in the middle of this project, which could potentially provide much needed jobs in North Escambia County. Let the Clown car ride.

that property hasn’t made any money for the town or the people in a long time. if someone is willing to come in and do something positive with it, FINE. just keep the towns hands off everything. nothing good comes from getting city hall involved.

It’s looking better already.
At least that is a step in the right direction.

Maybe a community fish fry or hotdogs now.

They need to make sure this business has a clear title and the town attorney looks into it deeply.

it looks like DMT holding is a defunct LLC and I believe a defunct LLC Bank of the Keys held a mortgage. it also looks like the taxes were paid via certificate holders and that will have to be satisfied.

I hope this ins’t an April Fools joke and no one needs to give any tax money incentives until they check the Deed and make sure it is recorded and property.

So far One Lumber Road address still has DMT Holdings as the owner on the Escambia Property site.

Town of Century. Do your homework.

“The Town of Century should have taken the 85,000 in fines it was due”

The Town of Century is not due any fines. This is Escambia County Code Enforcement and a county magistrate.

The Town of Century should have taken the 85,000 in fines it was due. The same people cause you to lose out on the industry park site which could had Golden Gin on the property now. Now they are over there on the Alger Sullivan property. Looks like we’re going to have a marijuana farm in Century Fl after all. Which is big business in Florida. Century keep your head up and pay attention to what’s going on in your Town

“Escambia County received three bids for the demolition and cleanup of the mill in 2017, but bids ranged from $800,000 to $3 million”

What you want to bet its getting cleaned up for way less than $800K.

Thank you for cleaning it up. It already looks so much better. I felt so sorry for the people that had to live in front of that awful mess and on the sides. Keep up the great work.
