Century Correctional Receives ‘Community Pride’ Award
March 13, 2013
The Century Chamber of Commerce’s Community Pride Award for March has been presented to the Century Correctional Institution.
CCI, the largest employer in Century, recently installed new “Welcome to Century” alongside Highway 29 at the northern and southern boundaries of the town. The “Welcome to Century” signs were designed by Lt. Tony Nolen of CCI and built with inmate labor. The signs celebrate the town’s sawmill heritage.

I really like the sawmill signs, glad the inmates produced something of value for the community. I supervised the construction of the dental clinics at the prison and the Poarch Creek Indian reservation. Some of the people in Century didn’t want the prison but it is their largest employer. The Poarch Creek people were great to work with and have given back to the community big time. Big props to Buford and the Martins.
