Jay Company Awarded Court Judgment Against Former Century Lumber And Land

March 29, 2012

A Jay company has been awarded an $11,770 default judgment against the former Century Lumber and Land.

C&C Land Clearing of Jay filed suit against Century Lumber and Land, LLC for land clearing work around the former Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company property in Century. C&C was awarded a default judgment against Century Lumber and Land by Judge Pat Kinsey.

Century Lumber and Land held a ribbon cutting back in October 2010 for a group of new businesses that planned to locate in Century’s vacant Alger Sullivan Lumber Company property and bring up to 500 jobs to the struggling town. According to property records, Century Lumber and Land did not own the property at the time of the ribbon cutting.

Those jobs never materialized, with manager James Leonard Craft indicted in Alabama on charges stemming from an Alabama Securities Commission investigation. He is awaiting trial on those charges.

    If one ever deserved a good tar and feathering, it is old man Kraft. I hope all they give him to eat is fried baloney (balogna) and hard grits.
