Century’s New $35,000 Sign Has Been Installed
April 16, 2025
The Town of Century’s new $35,000 sign has been installed.
Last December, the town council approved the purchase from Plastic Arts Signs in Pensacola for the new sign, which includes an electronic message center. According to an agenda item by then-Mayor Luis Gomez, Jr., the sign will “enhance community visibility and branding” with a more modern design than the town’s non-functioning brick-based electronic sign. The brick sign has been removed.
Century funded the sign with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
The old sign (pictured bottom) also included the Century Branch Library. Gomez said in December that the town was in discussions with the West Florida Public Libraries, a system owned and operated by Escambia County, about potential cost sharing for the sign. The library is not on the new sign.

We have a new sign….COOL!
The world of critics! They complain about everything but never do anything positive! Notice they didn’t run for office!
Welcome to Century now RUN !
I’m really glad more people are responding negatively to this honest-to-God waste of time and money.
Hahaha! Most of ya’ll are so funny!
They can spend $35,000 on a sign
but they can’t decide who to hire for
their gas department (since there is
a whoping one (1) person applying
for the job! OMG! What a joke!
The sign is worth more than the City Hall itself. So silly.
10 thousand dollar sign for 35 thousand great job Century.
This sign will surely “rescue” Century, just as the American Rescue Plan intended. We need some Doge in Century as well.
What sort of branding is Century going for? Economic center?
Beautiful !
Lipstick on a pig is still a porker.
Dang, Century can’t even hire a sign installer that can center letters. It’s time for Tally to stick a fork in Century.
