Tampa-based community bank expands to Atlanta region

Central Bank, a community bank headquartered in Tampa, has opened a new branch in Suwanee, Georgia, about 30 miles northeast of Atlanta.

According to a news release, the bank’s board of directors chose Suwanee “after years of study.” Not only does the move grant the bank a foothold in the Atlanta metro area, but also Suwanee is an area in need of a community bank.

The new Central Bank branch, located at 3893 Lawrenceville Suwanee Road, will be led by Vice President Darryl Workman, the release states. He will work alongside Sagar Patel, who will serve as the bank’s Atlanta and Georgia market president.
