Century Talks Time And Goals; Special CRA Exploration Meeting Upcoming

January 7, 2016

The Century Town Council held a goal setting and time management workshop Wednesday, and next week they will hold a workshop to explore the benefits of a Community Redevelopment Agency.

Upon declaration of an area as blighted, the CRA works to improve conditions. As property tax values rise, any increase is funneled back into the redevelopment area for further improvements. Additional ax incentive and redevelopment funds are available within a CRA.

There are currently eight other redevelopment districts in Escambia County — Barrancas, Brownsville, Cantonment, Englewood, Ensley, Oakfield, Palafox and Warrington — and three within the City of Pensacola.

The Century Town Council will hold a special workshop at 5:30 p.m. January 14 to learn more about possibly forming a CRA at the Century Town Hall. The workshop is open to the public.

Wednesday afternoon, the council held a goal setting and time management workshop at the Century Business Center with Johnathan “Jet” Tisdale of  the White Paper Marketing company. Three council members — Annie Savage, Ben Boutwell and Gary Riley — attended, along with Mayor Freddie McCall and several town staff members.

[Story updated 7am to reflect CRA meeting is January 14, not today.]
