Sorry Mayor Gomez is having health problems and I hope he recovers completely. Century is on the right track to make a positive step in correcting any problems they have encountered in the past. Congratulations Mayor Johnson, I’m sure you are capable of handling the job.
please be patient with our street department as they are very short staffed and are working diligently to complete the most important tasks first. By the way if anyone is looking for a job there are several positions open. You may fill out an application at town hall between 8 am and 3 pm.
