CHAPPELL HILL BANK TO RECEIVE TEXAS TREASURE BUSINESS AWARD
Chappell Hill Bank has been chosen to receive the Texas Treasure Business Award.
The bank, which was founded on September 2, 1907, was selected by the Community Heritage Division of the Texas Historical Commission to receive the honor.
The award recognizes companies that have played a major role in the state’s history, operating for at least 50 years and making exceptional historical contributions to the state’s economic growth.
Washington County Historical Commission Chair Tom Stevens said the historical commission is “extremely proud” to have helped the bank receive the prestigious award. He said, “Business history is local history and Chappell Hill Bank has been a significant part of not only Chappell Hill but Texas history.”
Chappell Hill Chamber of Commerce President Joel Romo said Chappell Hill “is well known for its history and strong business community”, and that the Chamber “applauds the recognition bestowed on Chappell Hill Bank and appreciates their dedication to our community, youth, and businesses.”
Over 500 Texas businesses have received the distinction since the award program was established in 2005.
State Senator Lois Kolkhorst will present Chappell Hill Bank Board Chair Edward Smith with the award on Tuesday, December 13th at 10 a.m. at the Rock Store in downtown Chappell Hill. The public is invited to attend.
