Century’s Largest Industrial Properties Still Empty
April 21, 2011
Century’s two largest industrial properties — the old Alger-Sullivan Lumber complex and the former Helicopter Technology building — are still quiet despite high hopes for new industry.
Over 3,000 people have already applied for one of just a few hundred jobs expected to be available initially at Century Lumber and Land in the former Alger-Sullivan complex. But, according to Mayor Freddie McCall, “financing is still the holdup” as of this week, preventing the company from beginning operations.
Century Lumber and Land unofficially announced a venture with several other companies September 2, 2010, that Craft said would eventually employee 300 to 500 people within a 36 to 42 month period. A ribbon was cut for the companies in October — without the company actually owning the Alger-Sullivan property.
The Town of Century’s former Helicopter Technology building remains on the real estate market with an $850,000 asking price. Since the property was listed earlier this year, there have been “no bites”, according to McCall.

Does anyone know who has the business license for Century Land and Lumber? Do they have one? It seems like I saw it in the public record but now I can’t find it. I was called for an interview and after asking very pointed questions and receiving very evasive answers when there was no reason to be evasive I have come to the conclusion that this is most probably a scam. Century Beware!!!!!
Has anybody gone to the public records and looked to see who actually holds the business license for Century Land and Lumber? Do they have one? I saw it once but can’t find it now.

“A ribbon was cut for the companies in October — without the company actually owning the Alger-Sullivan property.”
In other news, eggs were counted before they hatched.
Sounds like a bust to me…….
>>>In my opinion, the old alger mill should be on the market too. if you can “show me the money”, then why hold it for them. Good ol buddy buddy politics.
The old Alger Sullivan complex is owned by a group of private investors based in Navarre. It is not owned by the town.
