About Huron Community Bank
Huron Community Bank, headquartered in East Tawas, Michigan was established in 1927 as Peoples State Bank.  After several years and acquisitions, during the late 1980’s the bank was acquired by Comerica and the opportunity for the local community to “buy back” the bank became a reality.  About 500 people in the area successfully raised $3.6 million; borrowed $2.5 million and Board members confidently opened the bank rebranded as Huron Community Bank.  During the ‘90s the bank continued to grow and prosper and has successfully survived the industries hardest times in 2008 and 2012, maintaining excellent capital standing and is well positioned for future growth.  Celebrating more than 25 years as a recaptured locally owned community bank, Board member expectations are to be around a lot longer.  Huron Community Bank, with over $198 Million in assets, operates six branch locations and one loan production office in Northeast Michigan.  More information can be found at www.bankhcb.com
