  City Holding Company ("the Company"), a $3.4 billion bank holding company headquartered in Charleston and parent company of City National Bank of West Virginia, today announced that it will close its Lake James branch in Virginia Beach, Virginia, at year's end.
  "Our lease is up on December 31 and we have elected not to renew it. This branch, which is one of 10 we acquired when we purchased Community Bank, consists primarily of CD deposits. Core deposits are low, the branch closes very few loans, and there is not a strong base of business customers. This mix of business does not generate the revenue required to maintain a profitable branch," said Charles R. Hageboeck, chief executive officer and president of City Holding Company.
  The Lake James location employs six staff members. Some personnel will be reassigned to City's Hilltop office in Virginia Beach.
  Customers will also be reassigned to City National Bank's Hilltop office and no action will be required on their part. Accounts will remain the same, and they may continue to use existing checks, deposit slips and other documents they currently use.
