UPDATE: Century Town Hall Open Today; Council Told It Would Be Closed
July 2, 2010
NorthEscambia.com ran a story this morning as a public service that the Century Town Hall and services such as the gas department would be closed today and open Monday, July 5 during regular business hours.
But apparently that’s not the case. The Century Town Hall is open today and will be closed on Monday.
At the last regular meeting of the Century Town Council, Mayor Freddie McCall informed the council that the Town Hall would be closed today, July 2 and open on Monday, July 5. The town did not issue any further information that would contradict what the council was informed, so we based our story on the information provided by the mayor at that public meeting.
NorthEscambia.com regrets any inconvenience the misinformation, or lack of information, provided by the Town of Century has caused.
Editor’s notes: The Town Council will still meet at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 5. Also, some of the comments below were made prior to this story being updated.

Update on my comment below: The story above has been updated.
As a matter of my opinion, it seems that the Town of Century needed to have communicated much better on this one. The citizens of Century deserve to know when their Town Hall is open or closed.
>well the TOWN OF CENTURY is open today and off monday.Seems to me like William needs to get his story straight.
If that’s the case, the mayor told the council wrong. He told the council that he was OK with a meeting the night of July 5 (which would ordinarily be a first Monday meeting) because the town was working the 5th and off today (Friday).
Perhaps the mayor needs to get his stories straight.
Sorting this out now…will post an update ASAP.

Also, when my husband went to town hall yesterday,after they informed him for the second day in a row that the clerk was gone, they told him to come back TODAY. They didn’t even know they were going to be closed today!!
This is pretty much normal for Century, remember they celebrate Halloween on every day but October 31.
How in the world did Century take today off and force people to work on a legal NATIONAL HOLIDAY on Monday?
How does Century mess up like that?
Yes, of course…my husband has been trying for THREE days to get a business license and our new clerk has been out of the office each time. I guess it’s not going to happen today either. Sheesh!
Of course the Town of Century would do the opposite of all other businesses!
