Fayette county investors have two unique opportunities to put their money in their home county this month.

In Peachtree City, the organizers of the Bank of Georgia announced that common stock is available to the public. All shares are $10 with a minimum purchase of 500 shares.

Organizing directors of the new bank include A.C. Aukerman, Steve Black, Rick Duncan, Dale Geeslin, Pat Shepherd, Rick Stanziale and James Webb, Jr.

“Our organizers are concerned that Peachtree City no longer has a locally owned bank and see the need and value of a community bank. Unlike the larger regional banks, we believe in individualized personal customer service,” said Shepherd.

“The Bank of Georgia will focus on serving residential consumer as well as small and medium-sized businesses in our market area. We are committed to being an integral part of our community be investing in the dreams of its families and businesses,” he added.

The initial location is on Ga. Highway 54, just outside the city limits of Peachtree City. For further information, call Shepherd at 770-631-1114.

In Fayetteville, subscriptions for shares of stock in the new Southern Community Bank are also being offered. Southern Community Bank will be located at 525 N. Jeff Davis Drive.

Organizers of the bank include Gary McGaha, Jake Mask, Tom Reese, Bob Dixon, Stan Cameron and Dan Stinchcomb.

Initial directors of the bank are Richard Dumas and Dr. Mike Strain. For further information, call McGaha at 770-461-4365.
