Resident Meeting To Provide Input For Century Economic Development Plan

Century is turning to its residents for input into the town’s future economic development plan.

Town residents are invited to a meeting Tuesday night at 6:00 at the Ag Building on West Highway 4 to offer their input into the plan.

When Century updated its Comprehensive Plan in March 2012, the need for an economic development strategy was identified as one of the critical issues facing the Town.

Last July, Century was awarded a $25,000 a Community Planning Technical Assistance Grant from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. The grant provided the Town the opportunity to contract with the University of West Florida’s Haas Center to develop the plan.

One of the main components for developing the plan is to solicit public input. The Haas Center recommended hosting several focus group meetings to include Century business owners, residents,  and regional economic development organizations to solicit input into the creation of the plan. The first meeting  on January 13 was geared toward local businesses, and was designed to identify local   economic issues and opportunities, providing a “wish list” of priorities for the Town of  Century and Haas Center staff to incorporate into the final strategic plan.

A final meeting will be held on January 27 for regional economic development organizations.

Century’s Economic Development Strategic and Implementation Plan must be submitted to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity by May 30.

Speak Out Today About Possible Cutbacks Or Closure At McDavid Post Office

A public meeting this afternoon will address the future of the McDavid Post office, which has been targeted by the U.S. Postal Service for cutbacks or possibly even closure.

As NorthEscambia.com first reported in December, residents and businesses in the 32568 zip code were notified that the Postal Service will take future action regarding the McDavid Post Office. Possibilities include:

• Keep the office open, with window hours cut from 8 hours per day to six hours with those weekday hours realigned to match workload.
• Look at closing the office, providing only roadside mailbox delivery. Retail and delivery service would be provided through a rural carrier, with customers able to purchase most postal services from their carrier or alternative access points.
• Close the office and find a contract post office location, usually a local business. This contract location would provide post office boxes and most retail services.
• Close the office and relocate post office box service to a nearby post office.

The Postal Service will hold a public meeting concerning the McDavid Post Office this afternoon at 5:00  at the McDavid United Methodist Church at 2 Main Street in McDavid.  No decision concerning the McDavid post office will be made until after the public meeting.

The McDavid Post Office is the only local office in Escambia or Santa Rosa counties on the current closure or cutback list.
