Bank President to Represent Lexington County on Airport Commission

Lexington County legislators appointed Richard McIntyre as the county's newest delegate to the Richland-Lexington Airport Commission, the governing body for the Richland-Lexington Airport District. 

McIntyre, the Lexington Market President for First Reliance Bank, said he's looking forward to being part of an organization that plays such an important economic role in the Midlands. 

"The Columbia Metropolitan Airport is a resource to this community that we can all be proud of, and I'm pleased to have been given the opportunity to be a part of the Richland-Lexington Airport District," McIntyre said.

In his role as a president at First Reliance Bank, McIntyre oversees the acquisition of branch locations, recruiting staff and developing a full-service banking organization in Lexington County. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, McIntyre has more than 23 years of banking experience, including nearly 10 years with First Reliance Bank.

McIntyre has served on numerous boards and committees in the Columbia and Lexington communities, including The Indian Waters Council of Boy Scouts of America Executive and Advisory Board and the Riverbanks Zoo Foundation Board of Directors. He is also a 20-year member of the Lexington Rotary Club and Lexington Chamber of Commerce.
