Century Swears In Mayor, Council; Mayor To Focus On Economic Development
January 4, 2012
Two incumbent council members and a incumbent mayor that says his top priority is economic development were sworn in Tuesday night in Century.
“I really think we are in a position now to move forward with economic development and some jobs for the town that are much needed,” second term Mayor Freddie McCall said. “That’s what we are concentrating working on.”
McCall defeated former council member Henry Hawkins by a 3-2 margin in October’s general election.
Incumbent council members Ann Brooks and Annie Savage were also sworn in Monday night for four year terms. For Brooks, it will be her second complete term on the council. Savage was first appointed to the council in August 2011 to finish the term of the late Nadine McCaw.
Also Monday night, the council re-elected Brooks as council president and Gary Riley as vice president.

congratulations to everyone, especially miss brooks! we are tenants of hers and have always been impressed with the good she does for our community. we stand behind her all the way. hope you all have a wonderful term!
Congratulations!
I’m optimistic about the future again! Let’s take the ball and move forward! I plan to play a positive roll in a NEW Century. I challenge everyone, especially local businesses, to present a positive “attitude” at every opportunity. It’s time we stood behind our “elected” and supported them.
Congratulations to all of you !
