FDIC Issues List of Banks Examined for CRA Compliance
8:09 pm | Friday, Jun 5th
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) issued its list of state nonmember banks recently evaluated for compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The list covers evaluation ratings that the FDIC assigned to institutions in March 2015. The CRA is a 1977 law intended to encourage insured banks and thrifts to meet local credit needs, including those of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations. As part of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), Congress mandated the public disclosure of an evaluation and rating for each bank or thrift that undergoes a CRA examination on or after July 1, 1990.
A consolidated list of all state nonmember banks whose evaluations have been made publicly available since July 1, 1990, including the rating for each bank, can be obtained from the FDIC’s Public Information Center, located at 3501 Fairfax Drive, Room E-1002, Arlington, VA 22226, ( or ), or via the Internet at www.fdic.gov.
A copy of an individual bank’s CRA evaluation is available directly from the bank, which is required by law to make the material available upon request, or from the FDIC’s Public Information Center.
Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital
8:00 pm | Friday, Jun 5th
Williamson County is known for having a lot of things. There’s great sight-seeing in historic downtown Franklin and Leiper’s Fork. There’s great shopping at the CoolSprings Galleria and there are amazing school systems.
But there’s one thing Williamson County has been lacking and that is a state-of-the-art dedicated pediatric inpatient hospital. Everyone knows the level of care associated with the Monroe Carell Jr. name and now that amazing name is about to land on Williamson County’s very own children’s hospital right here on the Williamson Medical Center campus.
The facility will feature a dedicated children’s Emergency Department and 12 inpatient beds, with four additional observation beds. What this brings to Williamson County is peace of mind for every parent. Previously, excellent inpatient care was 20 miles up the road in Nashville. Beginning July 1, 2015, all of that gets a lot closer to home.
The Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital Vanderbilt at Williamson Medical Center will revolutionize pediatric care in our own backyard.
The three-story building is currently under construction on the West side of the WMC campus at I-65 and Highway 96 West and is slated for a July 1, 2015 opening date.
Let’s Celebrate!
Join us for an exciting afternoon as we celebrate the opening of our new children’s hospital located right here in Williamson County! We’ll have face painting, kids DJ, touch-a-truck, hot air balloon display, family photo booth, live painter, food trucks, and a big celebrity appearance you won’t want to miss! Be sure to stick around for our official ribbon cutting to hear from our special celebrity guest followed by a firsthand look inside our beautiful, state-of-the-art facility.
