On June 4, Gastonia’s historic synagogue. Temple Emanuel, pre sented Kim Price, CEO of Citizens South Bank, the first Wisdom of Solomon Award. The ceremony took place at Rodi restaurant in Gastonia. While banks across the country struggled to survive the economic downturn. Price developed an innovative program to use federal stimulus funds to help builders and developers construct afford able housing for new homebuyers. The program has been credited with helping revitalize the critical housing industry while also help ing individuals and families con tinue to maintain and achieve their dreams of home ownership. In February 2009, Citizens South announced it would use all $20.5 million in federal TARP funds to create low-interest-rate, no-closing-cost mortgages. The mortgages were set at 3.5%, with a maximum rate of 5.5%, and clos ing costs paid by developers and builders as a form of assistance to qualified homebuyers. Lauded by national media out lets such as The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Fox News and NBC Nightly News, Price’s program demon strates the wisdom, creativity and leadership of King Solomon. The low-risk, pro-consumer strategy reflects Price’s deep understand ing of banking, economics and most of all - the needs of con sumers. “Kim Price embodies all the characteristics of a great leader - wisdom, innovation and sound A As a courtesy we will file all insurances Richard M.
