PANDORA—First National Bank of Pandora has announced the future site of its second location in Lima at 1991 Bellefontaine Road, on Lima’s east side near the intersection of State Route 117 and Greely Chapel Road.

Todd Mason, President and CEO of First National Bank, commented, “Our mission is to improve lives through community banking, and we expand because we see a need for a solid community bank that operates locally and reinvests dollars back into the community. In this case, we have a beautiful new branch serving the community on the west side of Lima. It only made sense to meet the needs and serve our customers located on the eastern side of Lima as well. This expansion to Lima’s east side will allow us to serve all our Lima customers better while also providing a great community focused bank.”

Technicon Design Group of Ottawa has designed the branch and Touchstone CPM, a subsidiary of Tuttle Services, will oversee construction of the building. Construction is expected to start in September and the branch will open in Spring, 2024. The bank is making every effort to use local businesses and contractors for the project.
