Century Grants Easement For Gulf Power Natural Gas Pipeline
August 21, 2019
Century is granting a permanent easement to Gulf Power for the installation of a natural gas pipeline on a piece of property the town owns on Tedder Road.
The pipeline is part of a Gulf Power project to convert Plant Crist from coal to natural gas. The proposed natural gas pipeline will run about 39 miles from the existing Florida Gas Transmission Pipeline near the Florida/Alabama border outside Century south through McDavid, Molino and Cantonment to Plant Crist on Pate Street just northwest of the University of West Florida. Over 85 percent of the proposed route would be located on existing corridors like Gulf Power transmission line corridors.
Gulf Power is paying the town $28,000 for the 50-foot easement that will temporarily be expanded to 95 feet during construction.
The entire parcel is 23.53 acres along Tedder Road just west of the Century Work camp and Elsie Davis Road. A Gulf Power high voltage electrical transmission line already traverses the property, and the natural gas pipeline will be installed parallel to and just west of the electrical line, according to town documents.
The pipeline will be at least 36 inches deep, allow the town to construct any needed driveways across the easement with the approval of Gulf Power. The parcel of land is currently mostly wooded and not used by the town for any purpose.

For those of us that this will affect it is a nightmare. There are really no benefits to
the property owners. Our property already has 235 feet of transmission lines. Now an unnatural Gas Pipe Line. Beautiful Oak Trees and Animal habitats will be destroyed.
The big equipment in our backyard!!! Gulf Power who as I understand is now NextEra will have easement to over an Acre of our personal property. If at any time the Gas Pipe should have a leak we will have to evacuate and it happens because I have done the research. The woman with Doyle Land Service that is selling this project actually uses deception by telling neighbors that other neighbors are excited about it or have already signed when that is NOT TRUE!
Looks like more earthquakes in the near future.
Thanks for posting this William!!
>>Is $28000 the going rate for 23.5 acres of land?
The are not selling 23.5 acres of land. It’s a 50-foot easement. Take a look at the story again
Is $28000 the going rate for 23.5 acres of land?
Who negotiated this deal?
They are not putting on the existing easement whet I live. The are trying to take another strip of property and make it useless!
someone please make sure the money is put in an account for the town.
