BayCoast Bank opens Dartmouth Branch; presents $10,000 to Dartmouth’s 350th committee

FALL RIVER, MA – BayCoast Bank recently opened a Branch in Dartmouth at 299 State Road, across from the Dartmouth Mall.

To celebrate the grand opening, BayCoast Bank is having a “State Road Branch Sweepstakes.”  Individuals are welcome to stop in the new branch and enter to win an all-inclusive vacation for two at the Sugar Bay Resort & Spa in St. Thomas.  Entries must be received at the new branch by March 31, 2014.  The Grand Opening also includes special offers for opening a new BayCoast checking account.

As a thank you to the Town of Dartmouth for their cooperation during permitting and construction, BayCoast Bank donated $10,000 to the Dartmouth 350th Committee to help support anniversary events throughout 2014.

Nicholas Christ, President and CEO of BayCoast Bank, said that the location, with 2 lanes and a drive-up Smart ATM, was planned to meet the needs of the residents and businesses in Dartmouth, as the Bank continues to expand its footprint in the South Coast region. The new branch also offers ample parking and a coin counter for customers.

“We are pleased to be able to further strengthen our presence in the region,” said Christ, who added, “Although it feels as if we were already an integral part of the Dartmouth community through our charitable giving and the exceptional service we provide to our customers in the area, we look forward to solidifying our place in the town at this new location.”

The building was designed by Vision 3 Architects and built by R.P. Valois & Company, with landscaping by Stephanie Fuss Associates, LLC.  The project was managed by PACE Project Management, Inc.
