New Jobs For Century? Announcement Expected Soon
March 16, 2010
It looks like Century may be in for some good economic news with the announcement of a new industry expected to come soon.
Mayor Freddie McCall said Monday night that there is “something on the horizon” for the old Alger-Sullivan lumberyard location on Front Street. He said he expects to have an announcement about the facility very soon. In fact, he said he had expected the announcement last week, but there were minor delays.
The 38 acre property was last sold in early 2006 to DMT Holdings, LLC in Navarre, according to the Escambia County Property Appraiser’s online records. The facility includes five buildings totaling just over 300,000 square feet, according to the property appraiser. The buildings on the property range in age from 11 to 54 years,with the largest 160,150 square foot building constructed in 1972.

I just pray that the town does due dilligence with the new company-before giving them thousands of dollars of concessions. Make sure the company is a “real” , vital
company…that pays and is current with it’s taxes, both federal & state. Also , make sure the company paid it’s employees and if it’s a relocation…that they left on good standing. (both in the community and with the town or city in its prev local)!
Our town has been burned throughout the years for many poor choices. I pray that the mayor and council will do the right, honorable thing and do their homework! Do a background check! It may take a little work, a little extra time but look at what it could save the town and taxpayers if it prevents another potential scam.
Great news 4 people of century and 4 surrouding areas.
If the work of preparation is not done (housing, recreation, streets & walks, safe neighborhoods, disaster preparredness, etc. ) it can’t last. Sorry.
Let’s all pray for this to be a blessing for the Town. To put a lot of people to work. It can happen, just pray for it.
This is fantastic news….GREAT to hear. Jobs, jobs, jobs
I wouldn’t get too excited; this property seems to be ’snake bit.’ If local government doesn’t mess it up; local residents will complain about it until it leaves.
Can’t wait to see what’s coming, hopefully this will mean lots of jobs for people…
Lord help what ever company comes to Century!! The city council and mayor will find a way to screw it up!!!!
