If any town or business can’t support itself, it’s time to close shop, if it wasn’t for hand outs century would have been closed. All this free money comes from other tax payers and should remain in their pockets or at least their community.

“SOUTHERN PANHANDLE RESTAURANTS” IS THE ONLY, I MEAN THE ONLY REASON TO STOP IN CENTURY FLORIDA .
THERE ARE NO GYMS, NO HOTELS, NO SHOPPING NOTHING TO MAKE PEOPLE STOP AND SPEND MONEY. CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IS NOT THE ANSWER EITHER.
PEOPLE HAVE TO TO PENSACOLA, ATMORE OR BREWTON FOR THEIR NEEDS AND ENTERTAINMENT.
THE PRISON HELPS BUT WHERE DO VISITORS STAY, WHAT CAN THEY DO WHILE WAITING TO VISIT.
LEARN TO LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS LIKE I HAVE TO DO AND SAVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. SPENDING IS NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

I think the money can be used for a lot of other things too. Escambia County gave the City of Pensacola $1.3 million for clay tennis courts. The City of Pensacola is using about $3 million for the homeless to include paying for their hotel rooms. One thing Century could use the money for is to change the sign that reads “City Hall” to “Town Hall.” Back in 2009, Mayor McCall told me that a contractor once made a mistake and the town could not afford to fix it. The ARP money should be more than enough to buy three consonants (“T,” “W,” and “N”) and a vowel (“O”) at a local hardware store.

How about divide up all the money evenly to all the human home owners 65 years old or more in Century who have paid their property taxes on homes currently valued less than 200K and make less than 40K a year. These are likely the most important people as they have been taxpaying for years, retired years ago with a retirement income that’s and are now dealing with skyrocketing inflation, rising homeowners insurance and a society that is less and less caring of its seniors.

If the owner is a bank or corporation they do not get the $.

This does not include residents paying rent or living with a family member. This would only be for the person or persons named on the mortgage or deed. Perhaps give first preference and more money to homeowners 65 years of age or older.

Time to issue more personal loans to TOC board members. No documentation needed and you can “pay it back” later.

TOC cannot manage the city, how are they going to be good stewards of these funds???

Briggs Blvd needs a fire hydrant AND the street paved. Tired of replacing rotors from the rocks flying!!! Probably one of the only street that pays taxes!!!! Homeowners Ins went up (no hydrant) We may be on the very edge of the city limits line but if you can’t fix stuff then take us out of the city limit higher taxes and we can get county help!!!!
