WASHINGTON, Aug 3 (Reuters) – Illinois bank regulators

closed a small local bank on Friday called the Waukegan Savings

Bank, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said on Friday.

The bank, which had two branches and $89 million in assets,

will reopen as part of the First Midwest Bank in Itasca, Ill.,

the FDIC said.

Smaller banks, particularly those with less than $1 billion

in assets, comprise the majority of closures over the past few

years.
