b1Bank has opened a loan production office in the Entrada development in Westlake.

The details

A full-service branch with banking service is planned for the future, according to a news release from the Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based company.

Also of note

Ray Mickens from Mickens Inc., a real estate holding and development company from Southlake, proposed a mixed-use development in May with a bank, another commercial lot and 18 residential lots.

Southlake City Council only approved the bank portion of the 2-acre lot on May 20.

Mickens, who played in the NFL for three teams from 1996 to 2007, can resubmit the plan for the residential and the other commercial lot in a future meeting, Town Manager Wade Carroll said during that session.
