Welcome to CommunityPLUS
Our history
Founded by veteran banker Larry Barbour, we provide an unmatched level of service with a spirit of friendship. Along with former CommunityPLUS president Sandra Temple (retired), Larry’s roots with the association industry date back to the 1980s when he became involved with the Community Association Institute. He made the first association loan originated in North Carolina and 30 years later remains committed to serving this industry at the highest level. This commitment led to the creation of CommunityPLUS as a dedicated division of North State Bank in 2009.
