JACKSON, Miss. – Hope CU has acquired a former BancorpSouth bank branch in Utica, Miss., which will replace the credit union’s temporary branch in the Utica Town Hall.

Tupelo-based BancorpSouth closed its Edwards and Utica branches last August, leaving each Hinds County community without a banking option for miles.

Hope filled the void in June when it opened a temporary branch inside Utica Town Hall, later moving to a modular branch in October. The credit union also has set up a temporary branch inside Edwards Town Hall.

Hope said the building at 106 W. Main St. will undergo minor renovations before a grand opening this spring.
