Local digital news outlet, The Edmonson Voice, was founded and created by lifelong Edmonson County resident Darren Doyle in August of 2014.
As the owner of a recording studio with years of experience in commercial audio production, Darren built relationships with several TV and radio stations, along with a host of professionals in the digital media world. It was during that time that he felt like Edmonson County was ready for a fully digital local news outlet that was updated on a daily basis.
The business model was unlike anything ever seen in Edmonson County, as it would not only be the first all-digital news outlet, but it would also be updated daily. The scariest part for Darren was that it would also be free to the public, as he would hope to gain advertisers and sponsorships to pay the bills.
EdmonsonVoice.com was launched in September of 2014 and had 6,000 readers during the first week. Those 6k readers begin to grow and within a short time the amount of readers had exceeded the total population of Edmonson County as “The Voice” now averages 15k users each week.
The Voice has all the features locals seek, like news, events, obits, sports and more.
The Edmonson Voice was the recipient of the Edmonson County Industrial Authority’s Business of the year award in 2016.
The Edmonson Voice gained popularity on social media with a strong Facebook following along with Twitter and Instagram. The EV mobile app for both Apple and Android launched in 2017 and quickly acquired thousands of daily users. The edition of the outlet’s silver SUV, “The Voice Mobile,” in 2016, continues to be a local favorite around the county.
In 2015, the EV signed a broadcasting agreement with Edmonson County Schools to be the exclusive provider for audio broadcasts and video streams of local sports.
Now entering its 7th year, what began as just an idea in the middle of the night is now Edmonson County’s number one source of local news and information that has seven staff members, is still updated daily, and is still available 24/7 with no subscription fee.

Bank of Edmonson County was established on October 5, 1925. On that day the dreams of five men came to life as the doors of the bank were opened and the people of Edmonson County were given a choice of where they conducted their banking.
Since that day the Bank of Edmonson County has grown from a $15,000 entity to an over $200,000,000 enterprise. This has been accomplished by following the plan of its original founders and the board of directors as well as the hard work and dedication of the generations that have followed them in leadership roles. Through Bank of Edmonson County’s over 85 years in business, the leadership of the bank has cultivated such levels of respect and confidence from their fellow citizens that the founders dream of organizing the “new bank” in Edmonson County has become a prospering reality.
In 2003, after much thought, Bank of Edmonson County announced plans to build its very first branch in Bowling Green. The doors of the branch were opened on October 24, 2004 and it has seen steady growth since the first day of business.
In 2015, Bank of Edmonson County opened its second branch on Main Street in Smiths Grove. With the continued market expansion, the Bank expanded the technology suite of products to include mobile banking, remote deposit capture, and digital wallet capabilities.
Although Bank of Edmonson County has seen tremendous growth and plenty of trends come and go in the banking industry since the doors opened in 1925, we remain committed to the principles and values that our founders set forth. Bank of Edmonson County has given customers in our area a choice where they do their banking for over 85 years and we continue to believe that customer service is what sets Bank of Edmonson County apart from competitors throughout the region.

PBI Bank Changes Name to Limestone Bank to Reinvigorate Its Roots
Over the last 110 years, PBI Bank has served clients across the
Commonwealth to meet their personal, business, agriculture, and equine
banking needs. In the first weeks of 2018, leadership at PBI Bank decided it
was time to adapt the Bank’s name and visual identity to set the tone for
the years to come.
The new name, Limestone Bank, is derived from the rock found across
much of Kentucky. Not only is limestone used in construction materials,
but it’s also used by many of Limestone Bank’s equine clients as a strong
source of supplemental calcium. Aside from these two connections, John
Taylor, President & CEO of Limestone Bank, suggests yet another.
“Many of our team members know first-hand the financial needs of
businesses, farmers, and horse owners and breeders, and we’ve been able to
build sturdy relationships with our clients because of that knowledge,”
Taylor says. “Our focus on building strong relationships is central to who
we are and who we strive to be every day.”
Even though the name and logo have changed, Limestone Bank hasn’t been
purchased, and current clients will keep their account numbers and
information.
“We know that this change might raise a few questions, but we’re still the
same bank,” Taylor says. “We’re simply changing our name and logo to
reinvigorate our promise to help our clients build firm financial futures.”

call the Customer Resource Center at 1-877-369-2265.
