Batesville’s First Community Bank is enlarging its presence in downtown Conway after the $1.6 million purchase of the former Second Baptist Church in December. Construction of a 16,000-SF office at 766 Harkrider St. is expected to start by October.
A temporary modular branch will be opened on the former church property in July and operated until the new project is completed next summer.
The Harkrider facility will replace First Community’s branch seven blocks away at 1089 Front St. Opened in 2019, the office is the $1.8 billion-asset lender’s first and only branch in Conway.
