Farmers State Bank is a 100 year old community bank based in the small east Georgia town of Lincolnton, with a branch in neighboring Washington. Over the years, the bank outgrew its 40 year old main office in Lincolnton and decided to look at options to expand and renovate the existing building. After interviewing numerous firms, CBI was chosen to design and build the new facility, largely due to CBI’s experience with complex renovations and additions involving multiple stages of construction while also having the ability to keep the bank open and the employees safe.
The finished facility will include an addition of 5,000 sf and the original 10,000 sf facility will be completely repurposed and updated throughout. The addition will be located behind the existing facility and will be connected with a bridge from the main level of the retail branch. The two-story addition will include operations, a community room, the employee break room and kitchen. The space is scheduled to be complete in late 2015.
