Bank Quake

Consider the breadth of change in community banks in Collier County.

Just five years ago, there were 13 banks headquartered in Collier County with nearly $7.3 billion in assets. Four of those banks were among the 10 biggest on the Gulf Coast, from Tampa to Naples.

This year, only one Collier-based bank will remain with the same ownership as 2007: tiny Shamrock Bank of Florida with $95 million in assets. The region's biggest banks are now almost exclusively located in the Tampa Bay area.
