In Brief: Md. Bank's Owners Support Acquisition

Shareholders of Peoples Bank of Elkton have overwhelmingly approved its acquisition by Lancaster, Pa.-based Fulton Financial Corp.

The merger, which is still subject to regulatory approval, is expected to be completed in the third quarter.

The $92 million-asset Peoples, which operates two offices in Elkton, would become the 11th subsidiary of Fulton.

The Pennsylvania bank would then have 122 offices in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey.
