Century Continues Application Process For $1.3 Million In Grants
September 14, 2016
The Town of Century is moving forward with applications for grants totaling just over $1.3 million for tornado recovery.
The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity has made $600,483 in emergency funding available for recovery efforts following the February 15 EF-3 tornado. The application process for Century is basically a formality…the state has announced that Century is the only local government eligible to apply for the funds.
At this week’s meeting of the Century Town Council, members voted unanimously to apply for the funds, with their application due by September 28.
The application process is currently also underway on a $700,000 small cities Community Development Block Grant for housing rehabilitation and replacement.

I am so proud of the Mayor and the council and the staff in Century. I have been watching this struggle and process. What determination and faith and optimism and tenacity to keep on in the face of adversity. The prayer of the faithful and hopeful are being answered and God is making a way. What a challenge to over come. Even Steve Barry told us what an amazing man Freddie McCall is plus he thought Bout well was an up and coming star. He said Leslie Gonzales was an amazing person. We said, yes we know!!!
