AgHeritage Farm Credit Services, in conjunction with the Pine Bluff Regional Chamber of Commerce, broke ground on its new location at 3607 U.S. 65 South in Pine Bluff in a ceremony April 7.
Construction is expected to be complete later this year, at which time AgHeritage will relocate from 800 S. Main St., according to a news release.
The AgHeritage Pine Bluff branch serves farmers, agribusinesses and rural homeowners in Jefferson, Bradley, Cleveland and Lincoln counties.
“AgHeritage opened its original Pine Bluff location on March 11, 2019,” said Greg Cole, AgHeritage president and CEO. “It is a testament to the strength of Farm Credit that we have outgrown this space. With this new construction we reaffirm our commitment to the Pine Bluff community, strengthen our presence in Southeast Arkansas and reinforce our dedication to helping Arkansas farmers and agribusinesses grow.”
