TIMBERVILLE, VA—July 5, 2016— Farmers & Merchants Bank, a locally owned independent community bank headquartered in Timberville, VA, is excited to announce it will soon break ground on its 13th branch in Fishersville, VA.

The ground breaking ceremony will take place on Tuesday, July 19th from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm at the intersection of Myers Corner and Route 250 in Fishersville. Myers Corner is a 139-acre mixed-use real estate development in the Fishersville area of Augusta County, Virginia. Myers Corner is located across Route 250 (Jefferson Highway) from the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center, Wilson Elementary School, Wilson Middle School, and Wilson Memorial High School.

The Greater Augusta Regional Chamber of Commerce, public officials, and F&M Bank staff and board members will be in attendance and available for comment. The public is invited to attend the event and stay for a light lunch following the ceremony. Bridgestone Construction will begin construction of the new branch mid-July.

F&M Bank currently operates bank branches in Craigsville and Staunton, a loan production office in Fishersville, and a new branch scheduled to open in Grottoes mid-July 2016. The much anticipated Fishersville branch is slated to open early 2017 with Jonathan Lindsay taking the helm as branch manager.
