In Brief: S.C. Bank to Sell Branches in Region Shift

GREENWOOD, S.C. - Community Capital Corp. announced Tuesday that it plans to sell five of its 17 CapitalBank branches to $118 million-asset Enterprise Bank of South Carolina in Ehrhardt.

The branches have deposits totaling about $70 million and are located in the southwestern part of the state. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
