PACB Recognizes JBT for Role in Affordable Housing Development Project with Excellence in Lending Award
The Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers (PACB) recognized Jonestown Bank & Trust Co. (JBT) with two awards at the organization’s 2023 Inspire Awards ceremony.
JBT won the Excellence in Lending, Economic Development
Award for its participation and leadership in the Community Homes Canal Street
project in Lebanon. In addition to providing lending for the project, JBT also
donated $100,000 toward the Canal Affordable Housing Development effort earlier
this year.
“We’re thankful to the PACB for honoring us with the Excellence in Lending, Economic Development Award and it means even more because this is a project that speaks to the heart of who we are at JBT,” said Troy A. Peters, President & CEO of JBT. “Affordable housing is a critical need in our community, especially among older adults, low-income families and ambulatory disabled members. The Canal Affordable Housing Development is an important step in meeting that need. Helping provide a home – a quality, safe, truly affordable home – that will improve people’s lives in a very real way is something JBT is excited about.”
In addition, JBT also took top honors in Excellence in
Marketing, winning the Best TV or Radio Commercial Award.
