Is it a stretch to claim that your father built your bank? Not for Jim Heimerl. His father, Don Heimerl, was the contractor that built the Johnstown branch of Heartland Bank back when it was known as The Croton Bank. Heartland’s roots run deep in Licking County, and those roots are also securely wrapped around customers like Heimerl Farms nearly 30 years after their first account was opened.
