American Community Bank of Indiana has recently received the Indiana Governor’s Century Award recognizing the bank’s longevity and its impact on the state’s economy, communities and people.
The Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Awards honor Hoosier
businesses that have remained in operation for a minimum of 100 or 50 consecutive years, respectively, and have demonstrated a commitment to community service. More than 1,250 Indiana companies have been recognized during the award’s 33-year history.
"Indiana continues to prove why we have one of the best economic climates for entrepreneurship and small business creation," said Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb. "That strong economic foundation was set by these businesses that have chosen to call the Hoosier state home for the last 50 to 100 years. The lifeblood of our growing economy is our Hoosier entrepreneurs and business owners who had the courage to turn a vision into reality, and I'm honored to recognize each and every one of these leaders today for their exemplary commitment to our state and their communities."
Mike Mellon, American Community Bank president, says “It is truly an honor to be recognized for our commitment to our communities. It’s something we’re very proud of. Our bank could have easily been sold off and merged with a larger competitor, but our bank has maintained its persistent dedication as a true community bank focused on meeting the financial needs of our communities. This award is a testament to our commitment to our customers and our steadfast belief in the importance and value of community banking.”
