There will be dust and a bit more noise around the First National Bank’s Bluffton office beginning today (Sept. 5) but it will be worth it in the end. The branch will undergo a renovation for the next 60 days.
Once the construction is complete the branch will include more offices, a conference room and updated decor. FNB will also be introducing cash recyclers to assist the staff in quickly accepting and dispensing cash all while storing it securely between transactions.
This rabbit watches the local scenery somewhere within the village limits. If you can name the location, we'll put you in a drawing for two passes to the Shannon Theatre.
