Century Chamber To Hire New Economic Development Coordinator

February 12, 2016

The search is about to begin for a new economic development coordinator in Century.

The Century Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors voted Thursday afternoon to fund the position with a $40,000 yearly donation from the Escambia County Commission. The job listing will be posted soon on NorthEscambia.com and will have a closing date about 10 days later.

The person selected  will work directly as a independent contractor and report to the Century Chamber of Commerce.

Century’s previous economic development director, Allison Tyler, worked for the University of West Florida and their Haas Center. She was tasked with overseeing the implementation of the Town of Century’s economic development strategic plan, which was developed by the Haas Center.

Tyler’s period as Century’s economic development coordinator was completed when the Haas Center’s contract with the chamber came to an end. She continues her employment in a different capacity with the Haas Center.

    Develop ecotourism on the River. Put us on the map with a national park. I hope whoever takes this job dreams big and out of the box.
