Golfcourse property is part of Century Village

"in perpetuity"

Century Village® is a gated community that provides round the clock manned security.  Seniors feel safe there with its convenient buses that  provide transportation to local shopping centers and restaurants as well as medical facilities.  In addition, there is an on-site medical building and pharmacy conveniently located inside our beautiful community with affordable prices available for its one and two bedroom apartments.

Century Village was built back in the early 70's with seniors in mind. At that time they built an 18 hole golfcourse and people bought with the idea that it would remain. Never did they ever consider that the use could be changed. It was guaranteed...there was a resriction on the land that the site required its owner to use the land as a golfcourse, "in perpetuity."

Now the only people who don't know what that means are landowners, developers, investors and some politicians. The land has not been used in some time and the owners broke that restriction years ago when they allowed the course to go to weed due to finances they say. They now want to have it developed into a huge complex of homes, condos, shops and offices. This project was postponed in January by the PB County Commission but it is coming up once again this Thursday.
  
Century Village residents (fiesty seniors who all still believe in fair play) are angry and they should be.
