Bill > HJR0511

This resolution recognizes and congratulates First Peoples Bank of Tennessee on its 50th anniversary, highlighting the bank's significant contributions to the economic life of East Tennessee. Originally chartered in 1974 in Jefferson City with 725 stockholders, the bank started with just six employees in a portable building and has since expanded to five branches across Jefferson, Hamblen, and Knox counties. The resolution notes key milestones in the bank's history, including its name change to First Peoples Bank of Tennessee in 1994, a recapitalization by local investors in 2010, and its status as a 100-percent locally owned bank holding company. The Tennessee General Assembly formally honors the bank's leadership, board members, and employees, commending their commitment to quality and integrity, and expressing best wishes for continued success. The resolution also includes a provision for preparing an official copy of the document for presentation.
