Paris, KY — October 17, 2025 — Blue Grass Federal proudly celebrated the grand reopening of its renovated Paris headquarters on Friday, October 17. The renovated space reflects the theme “Rooted Here. Reinvested Here,” — a visible expression of the bank’s mission to keep dollars local and strengthen the community it serves.
From concrete to cabinetry, the renovation was completed entirely by Central Kentucky contractors, underscoring the bank’s mutual philosophy of banking local, hiring local, and growing local.
“This renovation is a reflection of who we are — a mutual bank rooted in community and powered by the people who call this place home,” said Shanda Smith, President & CEO of Blue Grass Federal. “Every detail tells a story of local craftsmanship and shared purpose. The contractors who had a hand in bringing this project to life were our partners in creating more than just a welcoming, modern space — they helped us build a community cornerstone.”
Since opening its doors in 1959, Blue Grass Federal has remained dedicated to serving Paris and surrounding communities with personalized service rooted in mutual values. The renovation provides a modern, customer-friendly environment while preserving the bank’s long-standing tradition of community-first banking.
“It’s been an honor to work on the renovation project for Blue Grass Federal, especially because we’ve been personal and business banking customers here for 25 years,” said Chad Davis, electrician and partner with Davis & Davis, LLC. “I’m all about community. I grew up here, I work here, and this mutual bank gives us what we want in a bank — friendly, hometown people with an approach to banking that helps sustain our business and helps our community grow.”
To celebrate with customers and the entire community, Blue Grass Federal will offer a special Grand Reopening rate through October 24.
“When you choose a mutual bank like Blue Grass Federal, you’re choosing to keep your dollars at home,” added Smith. “This renovation proves that when we reinvest locally, everyone benefits — from the businesses who do the work to the customers we serve every day.”
