Tower Bank Coming To Warsaw In January
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Tower Bank, headquartered in Fort Wayne, will break ground for a new bank at the corner of Main and Buffalo streets northeast of the courthouse square in January.
"We chose this location because it is at the heart of the business district in Warsaw and the bank brings a unique opportunity to build excitement in downtown Warsaw," said Tower Bank Warsaw Community Bank President John Warren.
Warren received the bank's design sketches Nov. 6 from architect Doug Routh of SchenkelShultz Architecture, Fort Wayne. Warren said the bank is targeted to open for business in August 2007.
The opening of Warsaw's branch will make the eighth Tower Bank in Northeast Indiana.
There are six Tower Banks in Allen County and one in Angola.
Trois Hart, vice president of marketing for Tower Bank, said the company has been looking to build other banks in communities where they will thrive.
"Warsaw is a growing community and we believe the town will be successful in representing our mission statement," Hart said.
She said the bank's mission is to serve its team members, customers, community and shareholders with integrity, respect, understanding and appreciation.
The cost of the project will be approximately $1.5 million and bids for the project will go out this week across Northeast Indiana, according to Hart.
Bids will be out approximately 14 days.
The 4,000- to 5,000-square-foot two-story facility will feature off-street parking, a drive-through automated teller machine and an open atrium.
A greenscape will compliment the exterior of the bank with flowers and shrubbery.
Public parking also will be located north of the bank along Main Street.
The bank will offer services including a trust professional who will assist customers with investment management services, estate and financial and investment planning.
A mortgage originator service will offer home refinancing and new home construction services.
Commercial lending services will be available that will include business-to-business banking and cash management.
The bank is expected to bring eight jobs and as the bank's customer base grows, the company hopes to build a smaller branch in Warsaw, Hart said.
The bank's development office located at 103 E. Center St. opened in September and Warren has been speaking with community leaders and citizens informing them about the bank. The office will close once the bank is built.
Karen Clayton, assistant vice president for Tower Bank, has been meeting with people to tell them about the services the bank offers.
"We want our customers to have a hometown banking experience where we can get to know them and they can come to us with their banking needs," Clayton said. [[In-content Ad]]
