DIXON – For his October 2025 local business highlight, State Representative Bradley Fritts (R-Dixon) recognized First State Bank in Mendota. Founded in 1940, First State Bank has served local families and small businesses for generations. They now serve communities across the region with 19 locations.
“I chose to highlight First State Bank because of their dedication to truly serving our community,” said Rep. Fritts. “From supporting local youth organizations to sponsoring community events, First State Bank does so much to give back. They host blood drives, donate to youth sports teams, support local organizations such as United Way and the YMCA, and encourage their employees to get involved in their own lives.”
First State Bank proudly has employees who are actively giving back through school boards, educational foundations, chambers of commerce, local organizations such as Lions Club and Rotary Club, and much more.
Fritts concluded, “Their commitment to being a true community bank is a reminder of the positive change that local businesses can create, which is why I am proud to highlight First State Bank for my October Local Business Highlight.”
First State Bank’s main location is at 706 Washington Street in Mendota. More information, including locations and hours, can be found at FirstStateBank.biz.
