Renasant Bank (“Applicant”) was approved for a nine-year Jobs PILOT to enable the company to create 15 Net New Jobs with an average base salary of $93,333 excluding benefits and invest $15,830,300 in the City of Memphis.

Since its founding in 1904, Tupelo based Renasant Bank has grown to $12.9 billion in assets and more than 190 offices throughout Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Growth has accelerated in recent years. In less than four years, Renasant has acquired Heritage Financial Group, KeyWorth Bank, Brand Bank and Metropolitan Bank. The publicly traded company now employs more than 1,900 people.

As Renasant expands its operations, it is seeking a location for its regional headquarters. The Applicant would like to consolidate 62 existing area employees, add 15 new positions and create a Metro Memphis operation that includes community and commercial banking, mortgage services, private client and capital advisors, and treasury management in one building.
