Kelly Miller, also a native of Harrison, will serve as Loan Assistant in Cornerstone’s Harrison office. She has worked at Community First Bank since 1998 in customer service, deposit operations and, since 2005, as a Loan Assistant. Cross stated, “We are thrilled to add two seasoned bankers of Nate and Kelly’s caliber to our growing bank team. Our company is excited to bring its brand of true community banking to Harrison and feel blessed to be afforded the opportunity to serve the businesses and citizens of Boone County. With the affiliation of these two professionals, we look to be off to a great start in building a bank team that is second to none. We are thrilled to welcome Nate and Kelly to the Cornerstone family.” Cornerstone Bank, a 105 year old financial institution, based in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is currently under
contract on approximately seven acres across Highway US 65 from Wal-Mart in Harrison. The bank intends to construct a full service banking center in 2017 at that location. Additionally, there are plans to open a temporary facility to serve customers while under construction. The local bank has been growing rapidly during the past several years; however, this will be the bank’s first location in Boone County.
