Century Council Takes First Step To Set Clear Direction For The Future
October 22, 2025
“We need to change what normal is, what we used to do.”
That’s how a Century council member John Bass explained his vision for a plan for a new Century.
Tuesday, the Century Town Council held a workshop to discuss goals and a clear direction for the town’s future.
Bass, who spearheaded the meeting, said he wants to put objective for the town on paper.
The council discussed everything from park bathrooms, to walking paths, to first aid training for employees to just generally cleaning up the town. Ultimately, they finished the meeting by deciding to continue the goal planning process with input from the community and business leaders and the Century Chamber of Commerce.
After meeting with the chamber, the council plans to hold a town hall meeting for citizen input on December 2 at 5:15 p.m.

Update the current charter should be paramount before any other endeavors.
Whatever is decided, write it into your comprehensive land use plan. That way, in grant writing, you can document itge idea’s consistency with the overall plan for the town.
I might also suggest the following:
1. Flomaton and Century need to be working together. The two communities need to be moving alongside one another, not competing.
2. The Chambers of Commerce need to really take a hard look at how private business property appears. Does it improve the neighborhood, or degrade the neighborhood.
3. To a visitor (like myself who commutes through between Pensacola and Nashville), it’s just not an environment I want to stop in, especially at night. Keep that in mind.
Good luck as you try to forge a new vision.
