On October 31, Waco-based The First National Bank of Central Texas held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new branch in College Station. The state-of-the-art 21,000-square-foot building will be located at 4270 State Hwy. 6 S. The College Station team expects to move into the new building sometime in early 2026. The bank has been in the Bryan/College Station market since 2021.
“The reception we’ve received over the past three years has been fantastic,” says Joe Barrow, chairman and CEO. “As a Brazos Valley native and a graduate of Texas A&M, this is a market we have been eyeing for years. We look forward to putting down roots and serving the communities for years to come.”
Bobby Williamson and Melissa Buchanan are the bank’s lenders in College Station. Williamson has been with FNBCT since it entered the market in 2021. He will serve as banking center president for the new location.
“As someone who was born and raised in the Bryan/College Station area, I have seen the tremendous growth that has occurred over the years,” Williamson notes. “I am proud to be a part of an organization that believes in this area and will be part of this growth.”
Established in 1901, The First National Bank of Central Texas has financial centers in Waco, Woodway-Hewitt, College Station, China Spring, Mart, Gatesville and Hillsboro.
