It operates 249 branches in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. &nbsp; Subscribers to&nbsp;Crain’s Detroit Business&nbsp;can read the entire story&nbsp;<a href="http://www.crainsdetroit.com/section/biggest_deals2016" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. &nbsp; This is the fourth transaction in the past three years for Chemical Financial, all of them led by the Mergers &amp; Acquisitions Group at Warner .
