How a bank branch ended up opening on Baltimore-area country club land

JPMorgan Chase & Co. recently opened up a branch on land owned by Woodholme Country Club, giving the club funds that a past club president said will “assure [its] survival in the future.” The branch is the latest opened from Chase, which has been opening locations all over the state as part of an aggressive expansion. The branch, located at the corner of Reisterstown Road and Woodholme Avenue in Pikesville, is the result of years of work by the country club and bank to get the proper zoning approvals from Baltimore County for the project.
