Century Hears Proposals To Create Economic Development Plan
September 17, 2013
The Century Town Council heard proposals Monday from four contenders to develop an Economic Development Strategic Plan for the town.
Robert Gray of the Strategic Planning Group of Ponte Verde Beach, William Fruth of the Policom Corporation of Palm City and Rod Lewes of the Haas Center (the research and consulting arm of the University of West Florida) made their presentations to the council in person. Herbert Marlowe of Analytica made his company’s presentation via telephone and a Powerpoint.
Council members completed a score sheet Monday that will be used to rank and later choose the winning company. The town was awarded a $25,000 technical assistance grant from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity to develop the plan.
