Looking Forward: Century Holds Visioning Day
May 20, 2009
Century held a day-long “visioning day” Tuesday to take a look at what the town has to offer and to discuss ways to make it a better place.
Participants representing many state, federal and local agencies joined business and community leaders for a bus tour of Century. Following the bus tour and lunch, participants listened to information about the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Fund and held an open group discussion about the town’s needs.
The visioning day gave the participants an opportunity to become familiar with the economic and community development environment in Century with the goal of fostering new partnerships between government, community and industry.
Joseph Mueller, Florida state acting director for the USDA Rural Development program, was joined by program directors to present an overview of agency programs in housing, utilities, community facilities and business programs that might benefit the Century community.
“We want to give you the help you need to complete the visioning process,” Mueller told the group.
The bus tour highlighted several locations around town. After visiting the Century Industrial Park, the group had the opportunity to see Century Woods Apartments, a USDA Rural Development project.
The bus tour also included the Habitat for Opportunity Building on Pond Street, Showalter Park, Carver/Century K-8 School, the Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company building, Camellia Gardens Apartments, the Anthony Pleasant Sports Complex, and Oakwood Village.

Is this also part of the strategy to become “all for one”? To feign interest in what Century needs?
