Let’s put money into a community center that will look the same way in a couple years! How bout putting a little attention to our growing youth programs. Showalter park and the baseball field on church street for example. Concession stand needs an upgrade and cameras.The fields could use new fencing. Also could look into making a couple new fields to accommodate the overflow of teams coming to the park. Over 200 kids this year and could have been a lot more with proper fielding for games and practices. Put the money to something that will bring revenue back to the town! What a waste!

They don't care, they have no pride, and they rather ask or wait for handouts and spend their time and money on things that benefit themselves. Century has been a deteriorated town for as long as I have been alive. It hasn't changed a bit since the 1960s and honestly looks almost the exact same. @Rasheed The same reason they won’t clean up their own neighborhoods and just wait until it gets bad enough the community gets tired of looking at it and does it for them.

There is an old community center already and it has rotted to the ground. If people were truly concerned and there was a need, why didn't they take care of the one they already had. Also asking the state for money to do home improvements is a slap in the face of the people who are responsible and do their own home repairs. If there are people in the community that need help, then why doesn't the community step up and help them. No, the good people of Century would rather sit back, do nothing and beg the state for tax dollars.
