First National Bank of Alaska held a grand opening event for its new branch in Healy yesterday. The day featured an open house, seminars, and a gasoline give away, to celebrate the recent opening of the Parks Highway community’s first ever bank. The area near the entrance to Denali National Park has a booming summer tourism economy and the availability of local banking, is already making doing business there easier.
