By 1991, it featured locations in Wayland, Middleville, Caledonia, Bellevue and Nashville. By its 100-year anniversary in 1986, the bank had $7 million in capital assets. HCB stayed in that building for the next 46 years. Their office space grew from 2,500-square-feet to 11,000-square-feet and featured two drive-in teller windows. So I think that's a testament to the strength and stability of this bank through 135 years.” By 1947, the bank had more than $4 million in capital, allowing them to purchase a new building between Church and Court streets. “And this bank survived the Depression and flourished afterward. “During the Depression, when so many banks went under, this bank continued to meet the needs of our community,” Goodin said. Goodin called it one of the more impressive parts of the bank’s history. Over the first four decades, it grew to more than $1 million in deposits before the Great Depression hit, bringing funds to $500,000. “Even though we've grown to seven branches and different drive-thru locations, it's important that we support local business and that we are a local business.” The bank began in 1886 under the name of Hastings City Bank. It's important to us that we stay in the community that supported us all along,” Marketing Director Nancy Goodin said. Mayor David Tossava honored the company with a proclamation from the city. Tuesday, Highpoint Community Bank celebrated its 135th anniversary at its headquarters on Jefferson and Court streets. But one thing hasn’t changed: Highpoint Community Bank is still based in Hastings.

In 1886, 35 Hastings investors came up with $50,000 and started Highpoint Community Bank. Voters should contact their local clerk's office to confirm their hours of operation this coming weekend. Clerk’s offices are required to be open for eight hours the weekend before every election. Eligible citizens who have not yet registered also can do so at their local clerk’s office and then request and vote an absentee ballot in one trip through 8 p.m. Registered voters who do not yet have an absentee ballot may visit their local clerk’s office to request, complete and submit one all in one trip prior to 4 p.m. They also can track their ballot on the website to ensure it is received by their respective clerks. “Whether you choose to vote with an absentee ballot or in person on Election Day, you can be confident your ballot will be handled and counted securely.” Voters can find the locations of their local clerk's office at /Vote. “Returning your absentee ballot to your clerk’s office is a secure option to ensure your vote is counted and your voice is heard,” Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said in a press release. Absentee ballots must be received by the voter’s township clerk by 8 p.m. Before Election Day, voters may hand-deliver their absentee ballots to their local clerk’s office to avoid postal delays. So, the consolidation is saving county taxpayers some money, since they would have been responsible for paying election workers, as well as covering the cost of printing and advertising the ballot, Palmer said. We have done that before.” If the election had not been consolidated with Calhoun County, Johnstown and Assyria would have had to open up their own polling places and hire election workers – a minimum of three per precinct, she said. “So, I met with the Calhoun County clerk and we decided to consolidate. “It just wasn’t economical to open up two precincts in Barry County for this election,” Palmer said Tuesday. So, Calhoun County, which is the principal location for Pennfield Schools, will coordinate the Nov. Palmer met with the Calhoun County clerk a couple of months ago and they agreed to consolidate the election. But the Pennfield school district has exactly six voters in Johnstown Township and 153 voters in Assyria Township, Palmer said. Pennfield, which is seeking approval for a $30 million bond request for building and security upgrades, is principally located in Calhoun County in Battle Creek City Precinct 15, Precinct 3 in Bedford Township, as well as Convis and Pennfield townships (all three precincts) and Assyria and Johnston townships in Barry County. No issues are on the ballot for the city, villages and townships in the county – and the only district in the county with an issue is Pennfield Schools. That’s because there isn’t any election occurring in Barry County in November. For the first time since Pamela Palmer has held the office of Barry County clerk, she will not be presiding over an election this November.
