IBAT Sponsors First Lady's Tour
For the 14th consecutive year, IBAT sponsored the Texas Historical Commission’s First Lady’s Main Street Tour which recognizes the efforts of select Texas cities to revitalize the downtown area. Chris Williston, Steve Scurlock and Mae Beth Palone accompanied First Lady Anita Perry and members and staff of the Texas Historical Commission to Laredo and Royse City - named Texas’ Main Street Cities for 2008.
IBAT congratulates Falcon International Bank, Texas Community Bank and the First National Bank of Edinburg for their efforts to provide low-cost loans for the revitalization of downtown Laredo. We also congratulate Texas Leadership Bank and the American National Bank of Texas for providing low-cost loan opportunities for revitalization efforts in Royse City.
