“We are pleased to continue our expansion further south with a new location in this vibrant and thriving community,” said Ron Magoon, president & CEO.  “The success of our loan production office in Bedford encouraged us to pursue another location in this region.  We are proud to be community bankers and look forward to bringing community banking to the area.”
