Groundbreaking on the approximately 4,000-square-foot facility took place Aug. 24.

The banking center is located west of I-75 between Shell Oil and Streacker Tractor Sales with direct access off Buckeye Lane. R.D. Neff and Associates, Bluffton, designed the branch and teamed with Clouse Construction Corp. to complete construction of the building.
