A Note on 2023 Regional Performance:

First Financial Bank is well positioned for opportunity in the growing communities of Stephenville, Granbury, and Glen Rose. The entire Stephenville Region continues to benefit economically from Tarleton State University’s growth. Tarleton reached record enrollment for the fourth-consecutive year while finalizing its transition into Division-I athletics and breaking ground on new buildings.

As one of the company leaders in net new account growth, the Stephenville Region continues to build new consumer and business relationships as people relocate to rural Texas. Granbury is preparing for the addition of Lakeview Landing, a planned development consisting of multi-family units, single-family lots, senior living, retail, restaurants, and a hotel. The new runway expansion at Granbury Regional Airport became fully operational this year, and construction of a new private jet terminal is coming soon. Lake Granbury Medical Center recently broke ground on a $15 million emergency facility with completion expected in mid-2024. To fulfill a growing need for housing in the popular Glen Rose ISD, two large residential developments were introduced to Somervell County in 2023. The added population growth has attracted new restaurants.

Our employees serve as civic leaders in our vibrant, local communities. First Financial Bank of Stephenville was again recognized in the Stephenville Empire Tribune’s Best of Erath Awards as Best Bank and Best Mortgage, and Trent Tidwell was awarded Best Loan Officer. We recently partnered with Stephenville Economic Development Corporation (STEDCO) in a loan program designed to support small businesses. Our dedicated team continues to strengthen relationships through customer service with an educational emphasis on fraud prevention. We are also planning presentations on financial literacy at local schools in the coming year.

Come see for yourself what is so attractive about rural living in and near the Cowboy Capital of the World.
