Lack of people interested in running for office is but one. Many small towns in Florida were incorporated before such a limit existed and while some of them flourish, most do not. With only 700-800 households, 1800-1900 residents, and a median household income of $27,609, I think it is save to say, Century is not flourishing nor has it for decades. If these three people want to do something positive for Century, they would work to get a binding resolution on the November 2026 ballot for a vote on remaining a city vs a return to county rule.
