Senate Joint Resolution 1487, sponsored by Massey, recognizes and honors Home Federal Bank of Tennessee as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. Established in 1924, the bank has played a crucial role in the economic development of East Tennessee, originally founded as the Home Building and Loan Association by a group of local businessmen. The bank's mission has always been to promote homeownership, which they believe is vital for community stability and growth. Over the years, Home Federal Bank has expanded significantly, growing from $500,000 in assets to over $2 billion, and now operates twenty branches across four counties.

The resolution commends the leadership, board members, and employees of Home Federal Bank for their dedication to excellence and professionalism throughout its century-long history. It acknowledges the contributions of various presidents and board chairmen who have guided the bank, emphasizing its commitment to serving the people and families of East Tennessee. The General Assembly extends its best wishes for the bank's continued success in the future.
