Century Approves Increased Budget, Sets Tax Rate
September 9, 2014
The Town of Century Monday night gave tentative approval to a budget for the next fiscal year that’s up about 16 percent over this year and $2.2 million greater than the previous budget year.
The town council gave first approval to a $5,107,641.34 budget for 2014-2015 that is up $722,850 over the current fiscal year. The increase is due to grant income and expenditures included in the budget of $2,280,296.
There will be no increase in ad valorem taxes this year to meet the budget for fiscal year 2014-2015, which begins October 1. The proposed millage rate is .8707, which is equal to and does not exceed the rolled-back rate.
The council will vote on final approval of the budget and millage rate during public hearing at 7 p.m. on Monday, September 15, just prior to a regular council meeting.

Am I reading that correctly? There is nothing budgeted for economic development? Just wondering. I don’t have any ideas that would help improve the economy in Century either. Seems pretty hopeless to me.
