Brightlane Partners developed the application and business plan alongside the organizers of Pacific Metro Bank, Jinsong Yang (owner) and Gerald E. Lewis (President & CEO). The bank, if approved, will be located in Johns Creek, Georgia and would be the first new charter issued in Georgia in nearly a decade.
