Century Won’t Pave Lot
February 7, 2013
A newly cleared lot on Mayo Street in Century won’t be resurfaced anytime soon. That’s the word from Century officials who said the cost is just too high. Roads, Inc. — already in Century resurfacing several streets — told the town it would cost about $24,000 to completely pave the lot.
The lot is the former home of a two story asbestos-containing building that was recently demolished after a two year delay. For more details. click here for an earlier story.

Campbell road will be paved soon as well all the other dirt roads in Escambia County. The County has been working on Campbell road recently trying to get the right size up on the road to see how much more room they need on both sides of the road to pave it due to the gravel trucks that travel the road.
I agree Campbell does need pavng , But I believe ts the county is in control of that Road. check with the escambia county road dept . and see what roads are theres . I hope that it gets paved for you guys .
Why repave a parking lot for a building that is no longer there?
@mepp,
Because Century spends their monies in the CITY LIMITS. (Their HOOD)
Which Campbell road is not. It’s in the countys Hood.
I agree with oversight sounds great and why r they paving Jefferson pond street eft how about Campbell rd we’ve been told for years they r but everytime I read something its about THE HOOD.
I have alot of memories of that area. Miss my dad and the pharmacy days
Why would you want to pave it? If anything, the town should remove pavement from the old parking area for a building that is not there, then plant a few well placed trees in the new green space.
It looks like a good place to hold junk sales.
