Century Swears In Second New Interim Council Member

January 18, 2023

The Town of Century swore in the second of two interim town council members Tuesday night.

The year opened with two vacant council seats after no one ran for them during last year’s elections. On January 2, the three sitting council members appointed Shelisa McCall Abraham and Alicia Johnson to the seats. Abraham took the oath of office January 2, but Johnson was unable to attend that meeting.

Johnson was sworn in Tuesday night.

Abraham is currently the president of the Century Area Chamber of Commerce and has spent about 30 years in the financial services industry. Johnson was Century’s water and wastewater superintendent until she resigned in March 2019 after several years with the town.

The interim seats will be filled by a special election in March.

    A nice Lady for all seasons; for the interem anyway.

    Who knows what long term effects a person might incur, after years on such a conclave.
