Local Banks Target of Enforcement Actions

Grand Bank, with locations in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens Lantana and four other locations is in trouble. Russell Greene, bank president and CEO, says, "it is due to the accumulation of nonperforming loans on a backlog of mortgage foreclosures."

Regent Bank is also in trouble--
