Haas Center Conducting Century Survey, Holding Focus Group Meetings Tuesday
August 11, 2019
The University of West Florida Haas Center will hold focus group sessions Tuesday to survey Century area residents on community goods and services needed in the area, and an online version of the survey is also available.
The survey is available now at Haas.uwf.edu/CenturySurvey. The focus group meetings will be held at 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. at 4400 Hecker Road.
The survey is part of a $24,500 marketing study funding by the Escambia County Commission.

I took the survey, and it’s laughable to think that any of the types of businesses mentioned would locate in Century or anywhere else without doing their own demographic study. Just because we want a theater, fast food, entertainment, luxury hotel etc. doesn’t make it feasible for any business to invest the money in such an enterprise. Century needs to put their efforts towards correcting problems that they have control of such as overgrown lots, dilapidated buildings, marketing the industrial park, and most of all figuring out how to bill and collect for utilities from the 50% that have not been billed. I still want to know what connections there are between the customers and businesses that weren’t getting billed, and the crew sitting around that table at city hall.
I took the survey and some of the questions seemed pretty irrelevant.
Botanical Garden, Art Gallery, Movie Theater.
Maybe the 3 of those could be at the old sawmill site.
Does anybody really believe that anything the haas study does or doesn’t say will influence any business to locate in Century and have to deal with the continuous clown show at city hall?
In Century we need free food to go with the free gas and water.
