Bank branch set for ‘refresh’
DANIELSON — As part of its ongoing commitment to serving the community by ensuring its branch network is best-in-class, Centreville Bank announced a major renovation of its Danielson branch on Wauregan Road. The renovation is designed to improve both the customer and employee experience. This refresh will bring a range of improvements, including: A brand-new drive-up lane; a relocated Interactive Teller Machine (ITM); refinished parking areas; a new vestibule entrance; a fully refreshed, modern interior
Centreville officials said the renovation will help streamline flow. The refinished parking areas will improve access to the street.
Work began Aug. 11 and is expected to take four to five months. The work will be completed in two key phases. During the first phase, the Danielson ITM will be temporarily unavailable. Customers needing ITM services are encouraged to visit one of the nearby locations: Centreville Bank – Pomfret, 100 Averill Road, Pomfret; and Centreville Bank – Plainfield, 11 Pratt Road, Plainfield.
Next on the list for major renovations is Centreville’s Putnam location on Main Street. Plans call for that work to begin this fall.
