On Wednesday, Feb. 19, Forcht Group Chairman and CEO Terry Forcht was honored by the state Senate and House on Forcht Bank’s 40th anniversary year, a notable milestone marking decades of exceptional service to clients and communities across the Commonwealth.
Senate Resolution 31, sponsored by Senate President Robert Stivers and Senator Brandon Storm, and House Citation of Celebration, introduced by Representative Nick Wilson, formally recognize, honor, and celebrate Forcht Bank and the vision and perseverance of Mr. Forcht.
“[Mr. Forcht] believes in helping his state, and he has shown quite the entrepreneurial American way of starting of somewhat of humble beginnings in Louisville, going through school, then moving to the rural areas of the state, prospering, and creating jobs,” Stivers said.
“Forcht Bank, created and developed by the vision and perseverance of Mr. Forcht, has earned a stellar reputation for the quality of its service, and has contributed immeasurably to the economic vitality and the overall quality of life enjoyed by its members and the communities in which it serves,” said Wilson.
Today, Forcht Bank has 23 banking centers and three loan production offices with over 250 employees and $1.5 billion in total assets, making it one of the largest privately held banking groups based in Kentucky.
