Just beyond the entry is the bank’s signature “Faces and Places” wall, showcasing community members, scenes, and moments that capture the character of Easthampton.
Leading the Easthampton branch is Branch Manager Melvin Coleman, who has spent the past several months building relationships with residents, business owners, and nonprofit leaders throughout the city.
