So many articles in the past regarding the Century economy and the need for economic development. This budget clearly shows how out of touch the council and mayor are with the condition of the town. Zero expenditure for economic development. No wonder Century is going nowhere. It’s not the “Dawning of a new Century”; it’s the continued decay and mismanagement of the same old Century.
