Monday was the end of an era for the Bluffton Industrial Expansion Corporation.

Richard Boehr (center) and Ropp Triplett (right), longtime BIEC members, presented the remains of the corporation's funds to the village on Monday. The village will, in turn, give the proceeds to Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs.

Citizens National Bank broke ground on June 11 on a 15,000-square-foot expansion of its existing Operations Center, located just off I-75.

The addition will provide approximately 24 new offices for the building, which currently houses the bank's Operations, IT, Compliance, Marketing and Call Center departments.

According to J. Michael Romey, President/CEO of Citizens, the bank has seen continued growth over the past years and the additional staff that requires has caused a shortage in office space with the existing facilities.
