A fixture here since the 1950’s with offices located in Oxford, Lake Orion, and Metamora, Don Harrison, one of the company owners, said the agency is growing quickly.
Growing with the community, as a result Harrison said the staff at Community Insurance Center, Ltd. is also expanding so the Oxford and Lake Orion offices will soon be centralized into a larger facility, located at 932 S. Lapeer Rd. in Oxford (formerly known as the Coldwell Banker/Schultz Realty building).
For convenience to North Oakland County customers, the downtown Metamora office will be moved to 3900 S. Lapeer Rd. at the corner of M-24 and Dryden Road.
