Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
I oppose the
FDIC's proposal to allow banks with assets above $250 million to
be examined as
small banks under the Community Reinvestment
Act. This policy would reduce lending, investments and services in
low-income communities."
The Mid South IDA Initiative has received invaluable support from
regional and local financial institutions that is due, in part, to
CRA requirements. We sincerely appreciate and are thankful for the
partnerships that have formed with area banks.
