    The town will never see a dime of that money seems money just slips into people’s pockets in century. Now everyone in Century is suffering from the Property tax hike and the price of groceries in century are ridiculous. All there doing with tax hikes is putting more people in poverty. If it wasn’t for the library summer program and the Abundant life Church families would go hungry around here. Thry talk about hike prices to get rid of the addicts around here all you did was push them further into addiction. Ashamed drugs are cheaper than food and price of living. Century rips families apart not better them. This town use to be a family town now it’s run down drug town. Sheriff department is doing all they can to weed out the dealers with there drones at night and beefed up police officers. But what about all the thugs around here breaking into people’s houses people getting robbed and raped and killed people are to scared to come forward because of the threats of returning. I thought living in Pensacola was bad. Call century little Pensacola.
