Any truth to this rumor? May have been discussed already, but I do not know enough details to search. Anyway, I was talking to a guy who says his son is a local contractor (didn't catch the company name) but the man said one of the condo's downtown will be stopping construction soon or may have already stopped due to the fact that the contracor has gone out of buisness. According to the story I was told; if this happens we may have an open construction eye sore on our hands for a while.

I really hope this is just some sort of twisted story where this man has his facts mixed up. Anyone know anything about this?

Prime Meridian Bank greets first customers

By Steve Liner

BUSINESS MATTERS EDITOR

Prime Meridian Bank hosted its "soft opening" Monday, becoming the newest Tallahassee-owned bank. Its initial branch and corporate offices are at 1471 Timberlane Road.

"We're old-school banking with a new professionalism," said Prime Meridian CEO Sammie Dixon.

The bank also has more than 300 local stockholders, according to President and Senior Lender Chris Jensen.

Managers said Prime Meridian will be a full-service banking operation with personal and business checking, consumer and commercial loans, online banking, safe deposit boxes, merchant services, notary services, ATMs and debit cards. The bank's Internet site will be unveiled to the public shortly, Dixon said.

The opening was the culmination of a plan first announced almost a year ago and comes at the end of a funding drive for local investors that included some of the most visible names in the Tallahassee business community.

Directors, in addition to Dixon and Jensen, are listed in state regulatory documents as William D. Crona, Steven L. Evans, R. Randy Guemple, Frank L. Langston, Todd A. Patterson, L. Collins Proctor, Garrison A. Rolle, Steven D. Smith, Marjorie R. Turnbull and Richard A. Weidner.

Among the directors, several have ties to financial services. Guemple is a former CEO of First Bank of Florida (West Palm Beach) and treasurer of the Southern Scholarship Foundation. Smith owns local Krispy Kreme franchises and has served on the board of First Capital Bank (Marianna). Crona and Weidner are CPAs. Weidner is managing member of Carr, Riggs & Ingram, and Crona is a retired principal at Law, Redd, Crona & Monroe.

"We're building the bank based on the highest integrity with sound work ethics, providing the right services for our customers," Jensen said.

On hand for the opening were members of the volunteer ambassadors of the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce, who hosted a ribbon-cutting.

Dixon announced the bank will hold a grand opening in April.
