Century Town Attorney Resigns After 33 Years Over Staff Tensions

Matt Dannheisser, who has served as Century's town attorney for more than three decades, has stepped down effective immediately, citing difficulties with the municipality's senior leadership. According to reporting from North Escambia, Dannheisser's departure marks the end of a lengthy tenure representing the small North Escambia community. The town has already begun the process of bringing in interim legal counsel to fill the gap left by his resignation. Mayor Ben Boutwell and the five-member town council received Dannheisser's resignation letter via email. The specific nature of the workplace conflicts that prompted his exit was not detailed in the initial announcement, but the sudden nature of the departure and the swift move to find replacement counsel suggest the situation had become untenable for both sides.
