The town of Century will adopt a new natural gas franchise ordinance, as approved on Tuesday, April 17, at the Escambia County (Fla.) Board of County Commissioners meeting in Pensacola.
The recommendation was approved 4-1, with District 4's Grover Robinson voting 'no' as amended to change the acceptance period to 120 days.
