HISTORY

Proposed new main office location, One East College Street, Murfreesboro

       The MidSouth journey began in January 2003 when founders Jack O. Weatherford, Lee Moss, and Ben Weatherford announced their plans to establish a locally owned community bank. They recognized the need for a new bank with two key ingredients. The first was to have a broad base of ownership comprising Rutherford County residents and secondly, to have experienced, successful bankers who are passionate about the community.

       This combination of expertise and passion led MidSouth to become the highest capitalized new bank in the history of Tennessee. Organizers received tremendous community response as individuals subscribed to over $30 million dollars in stock in less than five months from the initial subscription date. The overwhelming support from the community confirmed the need the executive team recognized for a second locally owned Rutherford County bank. MidSouth's solid beginnings and its location in the fastest growing county in the state puts it on the road to further success.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
       MidSouth Bank is committed to serving the entire community now, and into the future. This commitment began early with the decision to open in one of Murfreesboro's most recognized historic structures. The former First United Methodist Church building was preserved from possible demolition when it was purchased by MidSouth organizers in July 2003. Erected in 1886, the 117-year-old sanctuary survived the devastating tornado of 1913. It will be preserved as the future lobby and cornerstone of our main office. Preservation of this notable structure not only provides a beautiful building to call home, it also further evidences our commitment to the community and its heritage.

       The former sanctuary's gymnasium will be remodeled to serve as the bank's temporary lobby with drive-up window capabilities. Along with general renovations of the building, a 17,000 square foot addition will be constructed adjacent to the lobby along East College Street. The addition has been designed to complement the historical architecture of the original building, while offering modern conveniences.

       In addition to the Murfreesboro offices, customers will be served from day one by a second, full-service location in Smyrna at 201C South Lowry Street. This will function as a temporary location while the permanent office is constructed in the north end of the county. Both the permanent headquarters in Murfreesboro and the Smyrna Office are scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2004. Plans are in place to continue adding new locations in order to better serve those who live and work in Rutherford County.
