Century Seeks Quarter Million To Go Green
January 21, 2010
The Town of Century is hoping to go green with the help of some federal greenbacks.
The town is applying for a $250,000 energy efficiency grant funded by federal stimulus money. If approved, the dollars would be used to upgrade the lighting at the town hall, the Century Ag Building community center and at the former Helicopter Technology building in the town’s industrial park. The industrial park building was purchased back by the town last year at a foreclosure auction.
The grant dollars would also be used to upgrade the heating and cooling units at the town hall and the community center. Weatherization, such as re-caulking and weather stripping, would also be performed.
The grant application is not without a cost — two consultants to complete the necessary surveys and paperwork will cost Century about $3,000.

Going green? Can anybody please submit some better ideas of how to go green in Century than what is presented in this story? Seems like some of the stuff, like improved lighting would just use more energy…depending of course… Helping folks in the poorer sections of town to insulate their homes might have a more far-reaching effect….or even planting trees.
While you are at it; add Internet access to the Ag bldg and a projector that can be used at Ag bldg or city council meeting room.
A good sound system is sure needed at the Ag bldg … Noticed at the function Monday, the system used was terrible. If it didn’t belong to the town, then they need to have a good one with all the various functions that are held there.
