RISING PHOENIX

It’s been 18 months since former Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner lost in the Democratic primary battle with County Executive Dave Coulter for the top county spot, which Coulter ultimately won in November 2020, after serving as interim executive following the death of former long-time exec L. Brooks Patterson. Inquiring minds have been wondering where Meisner would turn up. Now we have the answer – Crain’s Detroit Business revealed he will be the new head honcho of the proposed Community Unity Bank in Birmingham, to be located on Woodward between Maple and 14 Mile roads if bank regulators approve the application. Meisner will be CEO of the bank, which Crain’s said would primarily offer standard banking operations.
