Some of Akron-based FirstMerit Bank branches in and around Canton will not become part of the expanded Huntington Bank.
Columbus-based Huntington will sell some of the Canton-area branches before regulators approve the $3.4 billion merger of the companies. Which branches will be targeted for divestiture have yet to be disclosed. Huntington says it will close 107 branches, including two of its own and eight FirstMerit outlets in central Ohio.
