HOPE- With the news earlier this year of the Hempstead County Courthouse considering the purchase of the Farmers Bank building located in the downtown Hope area for the use of a new courthouse left concern to what would become of the Farmers Bank and Trust.

Steven Mullins, Chairman of the First Baptist Church Stewardship Committee stated that, on June 25, The First Baptist Church of Hope came into an agreement with Farmers Bank and Trust to sell the bank the West Half of Block 46 in the City of Hope. This lot is located at 3rd and Walnut, between the Church and Hope Outdoor Power and Equipment.
