The rocky economic times have forced Bank of Nevada and an affiliated bank to lay off 28 employees. The largest locally-owned bank in the state is also shutting down three branch locations, which will leave it with a dozen offices.

It reported a third-quarter loss of 23-point-nine-million dollars, but emphasizes it remains in strong financial shape.
