Lee County-- A new bank in Lee County opens its doors.

And, members from both the Albany and Lee County Chamber of Commerce helped welcome the business with a joint ribbon cutting.

For four years, the Bank of Lee County served the area as a loan office. Today marks its move into full-time banking.

President Scott Beeley says, "There's a tremendous potential and that's why we decided to come to Lee County as a loan office with the anticipation of becoming a full service branch to take advantage of the population growth so we are very excited about becoming a member of the community."

The Bank is located at Ledo Road and North Slappey Boulevard.
