Georgia's 1st National completes a merger.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. - First National Bancorp said it has completed the merger of Community Bank of Carrollton, Ga., its 15th affiliate.

First National, which has $2 billion of assets, said it will leave Community Bank's management and board in place.

Combined with the June acquisition of Bank of Villa Rica, also in Carroll County, the Community deal gives First National "banks located in the two major markets of one of the fastest-growing counties in the state," said Richard McNeece, chairman and chief executive.
