Century Voting Precinct Moving From Town Hall To Courthouse
January 9, 2025
The voting precinct for Century is moving from the town hall to the courthouse.
Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Robert Bender said the precinct will move to the Billy G. Ward Courthouse on North Century Boulevard beginning with the January 28 primary vote for the Florida 1st Congressional District seat vacated by Matt Gaetz.
Voters in Century previously cast their ballots in the council chambers at Century Town Hall. That sometimes led to conflicts between century town meetings and election days.
The courthouse is owned by Escambia County, eliminating those scheduling conflicts.
“Voters and election workers have shared the positive experiences they have had using the Billy G. Ward Courthouse during early voting, and we are excited to make this our Election Day location moving forward,” Bender said. “I appreciate the Clerk of Courts for working with us and understand the benefits it has for the voters of Century.”
Century voters will soon receive a letter in the mail from Bender reminding them of the change.
The early voting location in Century was already at the courthouse. However, the Century early voting location will not be open before the January 28 primary.
The Billy G. Courthouse is located at 7500 North Century Boulevard.

Cottage Hill Neighborhood Watch Meeting To Discuss Plan 404 Home Development
January 7, 2025
The Cottage Hill Neighborhood Watch group is hosting a meeting for the community to talk about a proposal by a developer to build over 400 new homes in a new neighborhood subdivision.
D.R. Horton has submitted plans to the Escambia County Development Review Committee for “McKenzie Estates” on the east side of Highway 95A in the 800 block of McKenzie Road. The development, as proposed, would be 404 single family homes on three parcels totaling 197.2 acres. (The largest parcel is 189.38 acres, plus small parcels of 5.87 and 1.94 across.) The site is currently vacant and wooded with a stream and an estimated 43 acres of wetlands.
The meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the sanctuary of the First Baptist Church of Cottage Hill, 230 Williams Ditch Road. This public is invited. This is a Neighborhood Watch meeting, not an Escambia County or developer meeting.
The proposal has been filed with the county; however, no public meetings or votes have been scheduled to date.
