Town Urges Holley To Reopen Century Office
June 3, 2009
The Town of Century has joined the list of local groups seeking to have Escambia County Tax Collector Janet Holley reopen her office in the Century Courthouse.
Holley closed the office last week to save an estimated $200,000 and because she said a low number of citizens actually use the office.
Mayor Freddie McCall said he hoped that Holley would consider reopening the office, and the Century Town Council passed a resolution asking her to stay in Century.
“Hopefully she can change her mind; if not, maybe next election somebody else can see different,” the mayor said.
Escambia County Clerk of the Courts Ernie Lee Magaha had announced that his office was pulling out of Century, but he he changed his mind and the office remains.
The Escambia County Commission and several community groups have also passed resolutions urging Holley to keep her Century office open.

Keep it closed and show people how to go online. You can have any service they offer now online…..better service , no waiting. Kinda kills the arguement that they cant drive to pcola huh?
Just thinking out loud….
What would the reaction be if there were a consolidated county government service center in Century that offered services of all the constitutional officers under one roof….
Clerk of Court
Tax Collection
Supervisor of Elections
Property Appraiser
Sheriff
By sharing space it might make it more attractive to each of these organizations to either maintain or establish a presence in the area.
yes thasts right open this office back up this is alittle to much …….Century dont have much of anything anymore except so goodddddddddddddd New police officers coming to CENTURY FL best thing ever happen …..
They really should consider reopening the tax collector office. Though there may not be a large ‘number’ of people who go there, a good many of ones who do can’t go to Pensacola. Century is NOT Pensacola, there’s not a large number living there to conpare with Pensacola. It needs to be looked at that many in Century just have no way to go to Pensacola to take care of things. They walk pretty much anywhere they need to go….and Pensacola would be an awefully long walk for them or anyone!
Pensacola needs to stop ‘dictating’ to the northend what should be done up here….we don’t have the population to compare with area size, but we have rights too. The northend residents should be able to vote in or out things that concern us up here….not Pensacola!
