Athens Bankers Predict Best Year For Area Economy
Athens bankers forecast 1969 to be a boom year for the city economy following strong 1968 results at Athens National Bank Hocking Valley Bank and Security Bank. Bank leaders cite asset gains, ongoing projects like Sheltering Arms Hospital and university expansion, and planned infrastructure as drivers of growth despite higher loan costs and tight money. They anticipate continued credit demand from individuals and businesses and expect new jobs from a local bottling plant and improvements in transportation, water services, and recreation.
