BankPlus Hernando branch president Dink Upchurch is banking on a sound economic recovery and the Greenwood native said all indications are that the nation is healing from the Great Recession. His branch, located on the historic DeSoto County Courthouse square, gives him an up-close view of how that recovery is hitting main street. "The thing about being on the square is that everybody knows everybody,” Upchurch said. “I’ve been in some areas that I will call places, but this is a community… The economy seems to be coming back… We made $17 million in loans this past year at this branch and the bank as a whole in DeSoto County, including its seven branches, made $91 million in loans, according to the latest figures."
