Century kingpin Benny Barnes has resigned as the president of the Century Chamber of Commerce – yes, there is commerce in Century. According to NorthEscambia.com, the former mayor of Century submitted his resignation to the chamber’s board of directors to spend more time in his role of pastor at the Communty of Christ Church in Atmore.
Strangely, current Century Mayor Freddie McCall has been named as the chamber’s new president. It seems the position will remain quasi-political.
